00:05:49.560 --> 00:05:53.399
So<00:05:49.779><c> each</c><00:05:50.319><c> of</c><00:05:50.540><c> us</c><00:05:50.819><c> shall</c><00:05:51.000><c> give</c><00:05:51.439><c> an</c><00:05:51.699><c> account</c><00:05:52.100><c> of</c><00:05:52.339><c> himself</c><00:05:52.699><c> to</c><00:05:52.980><c> God.</c>

rather<00:05:59.560><c> resolve</c><00:06:00.259><c> this,</c>

our<00:06:06.439><c> brother's</c><00:06:06.839><c> way.</c>

00:06:06.959 --> 00:06:07.920
We<00:06:07.120><c> don't</c><00:06:07.240><c> want</c><00:06:07.360><c> to</c><00:06:07.439><c> do</c><00:06:07.620><c> that.</c>

00:06:08.079 --> 00:06:11.540
We<00:06:08.240><c> don't</c><00:06:08.379><c> want</c><00:06:08.439><c> to</c><00:06:08.519><c> go</c><00:06:08.699><c> home</c><00:06:09.019><c> now</c><00:06:09.300><c> and</c><00:06:09.620><c> continue</c><00:06:09.879><c> to</c><00:06:10.139><c> put</c><00:06:10.379><c> causes</c><00:06:10.899><c> to</c><00:06:11.300><c> fall.</c>

00:06:11.839 --> 00:06:15.000
We<00:06:12.220><c> encourage</c><00:06:12.899><c> our</c><00:06:13.160><c> brethren</c><00:06:13.319><c> and</c><00:06:13.560><c> sisters</c><00:06:13.779><c> to</c><00:06:14.120><c> fall</c><00:06:14.379><c> because</c>

00:06:15.000 --> 00:06:16.459
we're<00:06:15.279><c> constantly</c><00:06:15.740><c> judging</c><00:06:16.120><c> them.</c>

00:06:16.779 --> 00:06:21.480
And<00:06:17.060><c> we're</c><00:06:17.420><c> putting</c><00:06:17.740><c> things</c><00:06:18.060><c> into</c><00:06:18.259><c> their</c><00:06:18.519><c> lives</c><00:06:18.899><c> that,</c><00:06:19.540><c> as</c><00:06:19.959><c> Jesus</c><00:06:20.259><c> warned</c><00:06:20.500><c> the</c><00:06:20.879><c> Pharisees</c><00:06:21.360><c> of</c>

00:06:21.480 --> 00:06:21.839
his<00:06:21.680><c> time,</c>

00:06:21.839 --> 00:06:24.420
that<00:06:21.920><c> maybe</c><00:06:22.199><c> we</c><00:06:22.420><c> ourselves</c><00:06:22.759><c> are</c><00:06:22.959><c> not</c><00:06:23.139><c> even</c><00:06:23.339><c> able</c><00:06:23.500><c> to</c><00:06:23.759><c> bear.</c>

00:06:24.519 --> 00:06:26.800
So<00:06:24.759><c> it's</c><00:06:24.959><c> just</c><00:06:25.120><c> a</c><00:06:25.339><c> warning</c><00:06:25.560><c> and</c><00:06:25.740><c> you</c><00:06:25.879><c> can</c><00:06:26.139><c> see</c><00:06:26.259><c> that</c><00:06:26.439><c> it</c><00:06:26.579><c> wasn't</c>

00:06:26.800 --> 00:06:27.519
just<00:06:27.139><c> James,</c>

00:06:27.639 --> 00:06:30.740
but<00:06:27.819><c> it's</c><00:06:28.120><c> a</c><00:06:28.339><c> common</c><00:06:28.600><c> problem</c><00:06:29.100><c> amongst</c><00:06:29.439><c> the</c><00:06:30.019><c> human</c><00:06:30.199><c> race</c><00:06:30.540><c> that</c>

00:06:30.740 --> 00:06:33.220
our<00:06:30.939><c> tendency</c><00:06:31.199><c> is</c><00:06:31.480><c> there</c><00:06:31.639><c> to</c><00:06:31.879><c> judge</c><00:06:32.180><c> one</c><00:06:32.420><c> another.</c>

00:06:34.019 --> 00:06:37.699
So<00:06:34.019><c> then</c><00:06:34.360><c> what</c><00:06:35.360><c> James</c><00:06:35.620><c> does</c><00:06:35.860><c> here</c><00:06:36.100><c> in</c><00:06:36.259><c> verse</c><00:06:36.459><c> 13,</c><00:06:37.060><c> then</c><00:06:37.240><c> he</c><00:06:37.399><c> moves</c><00:06:37.500><c> on.</c>

00:06:37.819 --> 00:06:40.060
He<00:06:37.819><c> says,</c><00:06:37.980><c> all</c><00:06:38.199><c> right,</c><00:06:38.480><c> here's</c><00:06:38.800><c> another</c><00:06:39.120><c> way</c><00:06:39.319><c> you</c><00:06:39.519><c> can</c><00:06:39.720><c> monitor.</c>

00:06:40.439 --> 00:06:42.220
He<00:06:40.560><c> gives</c><00:06:40.740><c> us</c><00:06:41.000><c> two</c><00:06:41.279><c> ways</c><00:06:41.560><c> to</c><00:06:41.879><c> monitor.</c>

00:06:42.319 --> 00:06:45.040
How<00:06:42.540><c> are</c><00:06:42.759><c> we</c><00:06:43.000><c> doing</c><00:06:43.300><c> on</c><00:06:43.699><c> showing</c><00:06:43.920><c> humility?</c>

00:06:45.100 --> 00:06:47.060
One<00:06:45.300><c> is</c><00:06:45.519><c> in</c><00:06:45.680><c> how</c><00:06:45.879><c> we</c><00:06:46.220><c> treat</c><00:06:46.399><c> each</c><00:06:46.720><c> other.</c>

00:06:47.060 --> 00:06:51.060
How<00:06:47.379><c> are</c><00:06:47.500><c> you</c><00:06:47.620><c> doing</c><00:06:47.839><c> on</c><00:06:48.079><c> being</c><00:06:48.980><c> humble</c><00:06:49.399><c> and</c><00:06:49.620><c> really</c><00:06:49.939><c> believing</c><00:06:50.279><c> that</c><00:06:50.720><c> God</c>

00:06:51.060 --> 00:06:52.439
is<00:06:51.360><c> taking</c><00:06:51.600><c> care</c><00:06:51.860><c> of</c><00:06:52.019><c> these</c><00:06:52.220><c> things?</c>

00:06:52.600 --> 00:06:55.339
I<00:06:52.819><c> don't</c><00:06:52.980><c> have</c><00:06:53.199><c> to</c><00:06:53.300><c> do</c><00:06:53.439><c> all</c><00:06:53.620><c> that</c><00:06:53.740><c> and</c><00:06:53.939><c> judge</c><00:06:54.079><c> all</c><00:06:54.279><c> these</c><00:06:54.480><c> people.</c>

00:06:55.399 --> 00:06:59.379
And<00:06:55.519><c> then</c><00:06:55.639><c> the</c><00:06:55.879><c> other</c><00:06:56.060><c> one</c><00:06:56.180><c> he</c><00:06:56.379><c> deals</c><00:06:56.639><c> with</c><00:06:56.879><c> is</c><00:06:57.019><c> from</c><00:06:57.160><c> the</c><00:06:57.360><c> other</c><00:06:57.620><c> perspective</c><00:06:58.120><c> about</c><00:06:58.519><c> inside</c><00:06:59.000><c> us.</c>

00:06:59.680 --> 00:07:02.680
So<00:06:59.819><c> this</c><00:07:00.120><c> is</c><00:07:00.379><c> more</c><00:07:00.579><c> like</c><00:07:00.839><c> really</c><00:07:01.180><c> getting</c><00:07:01.319><c> at</c><00:07:01.579><c> our</c><00:07:01.839><c> mindset.</c>

00:07:02.959 --> 00:07:06.579
So<00:07:02.959><c> look</c><00:07:03.240><c> at</c><00:07:03.379><c> in</c><00:07:03.540><c> verse</c><00:07:03.740><c> 13,</c><00:07:04.379><c> come</c><00:07:04.600><c> now,</c><00:07:05.199><c> you</c><00:07:05.259><c> who</c><00:07:05.540><c> say,</c><00:07:06.300><c> today</c>

or<00:07:06.819><c> tomorrow,</c>

00:07:07.319 --> 00:07:12.879
we<00:07:07.459><c> will</c><00:07:07.660><c> go</c><00:07:07.879><c> to</c><00:07:08.120><c> such</c><00:07:08.259><c> and</c><00:07:08.480><c> such</c><00:07:08.660><c> a</c><00:07:08.860><c> city</c><00:07:09.100><c> and</c><00:07:09.600><c> spend</c><00:07:09.899><c> a</c><00:07:10.100><c> year</c><00:07:10.240><c> there</c><00:07:10.660><c> and</c><00:07:10.920><c> buy</c><00:07:11.279><c> and</c><00:07:11.720><c> sell</c><00:07:11.959><c> and</c><00:07:12.180><c> make</c><00:07:12.339><c> a</c><00:07:12.560><c> profit.</c>

00:07:12.879 --> 00:07:17.000
You<00:07:13.060><c> see,</c><00:07:13.839><c> those</c><00:07:14.040><c> who</c><00:07:14.279><c> say</c><00:07:14.600><c> that,</c><00:07:15.560><c> whereas</c><00:07:15.839><c> you</c><00:07:16.180><c> do</c><00:07:16.480><c> not</c><00:07:16.740><c> know</c>

00:07:17.000 --> 00:07:19.560

00:07:24.759 --> 00:07:27.800
And<00:07:25.079><c> you</c><00:07:25.180><c> can</c><00:07:25.459><c> see</c><00:07:25.620><c> what</c><00:07:25.740><c> he's</c><00:07:25.959><c> getting</c><00:07:26.240><c> at</c><00:07:26.519><c> is</c><00:07:26.720><c> that</c><00:07:27.139><c> if</c><00:07:27.439><c> our</c>

we're<00:07:43.860><c> doing</c><00:07:44.060><c> all</c><00:07:44.319><c> these</c><00:07:44.579><c> things</c><00:07:44.980><c> and</c><00:07:45.339><c> we're</c><00:07:45.519><c> like,</c><00:07:45.699><c> I'm</c><00:07:45.939><c> going</c><00:07:45.980><c> to</c>

00:07:46.620 --> 00:07:48.480
I'm<00:07:46.920><c> going</c><00:07:46.980><c> to</c><00:07:47.040><c> go</c><00:07:47.139><c> make</c><00:07:47.279><c> this</c><00:07:47.560><c> money</c><00:07:47.800><c> and</c><00:07:47.899><c> I'm</c><00:07:48.120><c> going</c><00:07:48.199><c> to</c><00:07:48.259><c> do</c><00:07:48.399><c> it.</c>

00:07:48.800 --> 00:07:51.079
And<00:07:49.019><c> we</c><00:07:49.160><c> don't</c><00:07:49.360><c> even</c><00:07:49.680><c> have</c><00:07:49.939><c> God</c><00:07:50.379><c> in</c><00:07:50.639><c> the</c><00:07:50.800><c> picture.</c>

00:07:51.560 --> 00:07:55.120
If<00:07:52.019><c> that's</c><00:07:52.420><c> what</c><00:07:52.620><c> we're</c><00:07:52.839><c> really</c><00:07:53.180><c> like</c><00:07:53.500><c> as</c><00:07:53.759><c> people,</c><00:07:54.680><c> then</c><00:07:54.819><c> we</c>

00:07:55.120 --> 00:07:58.000
really<00:07:55.480><c> haven't</c><00:07:55.839><c> humbled</c><00:07:56.279><c> ourselves</c><00:07:56.939><c> in</c><00:07:57.240><c> the</c><00:07:57.480><c> sight</c><00:07:57.579><c> of</c><00:07:57.819><c> God.</c>

00:07:58.079 --> 00:08:02.100
That's<00:07:58.480><c> not</c><00:07:58.600><c> humility,</c><00:07:59.459><c> because</c><00:07:59.920><c> humble</c><00:08:00.579><c> people</c><00:08:01.180><c> will</c><00:08:01.420><c> be</c><00:08:01.560><c> the</c><00:08:01.759><c> kind</c><00:08:01.920><c> of</c>

00:08:02.100 --> 00:08:04.220
folks<00:08:02.259><c> who</c><00:08:02.600><c> constantly</c><00:08:03.079><c> realize</c><00:08:03.560><c> that,</c><00:08:03.920><c> wait</c><00:08:03.920><c> a</c><00:08:04.079><c> minute,</c>

00:08:04.519 --> 00:08:06.060
here's<00:08:04.819><c> what</c><00:08:04.939><c> I'm</c><00:08:05.240><c> hoping</c><00:08:05.519><c> to</c><00:08:05.779><c> do.</c>

00:08:06.420 --> 00:08:09.220
But<00:08:06.740><c> wow,</c><00:08:07.040><c> I</c><00:08:07.160><c> can</c><00:08:07.319><c> only</c><00:08:07.500><c> do</c><00:08:07.699><c> this</c><00:08:07.920><c> if</c><00:08:08.079><c> the</c><00:08:08.240><c> Lord</c><00:08:08.379><c> wills.</c>

00:08:09.220 --> 00:08:11.339
And<00:08:09.439><c> that's</c><00:08:09.759><c> a</c><00:08:09.899><c> mindset</c><00:08:10.259><c> that</c><00:08:10.480><c> we</c><00:08:10.639><c> should</c><00:08:10.779><c> all</c><00:08:11.060><c> have.</c>

00:08:11.660 --> 00:08:14.019
So<00:08:11.699><c> it's</c><00:08:12.000><c> another</c><00:08:12.259><c> one</c><00:08:12.480><c> of</c><00:08:12.560><c> these</c><00:08:12.800><c> little</c><00:08:13.060><c> barometers</c><00:08:13.600><c> that</c>

00:08:14.019 --> 00:08:16.100
it's<00:08:14.420><c> not</c><00:08:14.579><c> something</c><00:08:14.800><c> that</c><00:08:14.980><c> we</c><00:08:15.120><c> do</c><00:08:15.259><c> for</c><00:08:15.500><c> somebody</c><00:08:15.779><c> else.</c>

00:08:16.139 --> 00:08:18.220
Like,<00:08:16.339><c> I</c><00:08:16.439><c> don't</c><00:08:16.540><c> go</c><00:08:16.740><c> around</c><00:08:16.959><c> and</c><00:08:17.139><c> watch</c><00:08:17.439><c> to</c><00:08:17.639><c> see</c><00:08:17.720><c> whether</c><00:08:17.920><c> you</c>

00:08:18.220 --> 00:08:19.740
say<00:08:18.379><c> if</c><00:08:18.579><c> the</c><00:08:18.759><c> Lord</c><00:08:18.939><c> wills</c><00:08:19.339><c> or</c><00:08:19.480><c> something.</c>

00:08:19.959 --> 00:08:22.220
It's<00:08:20.279><c> a</c><00:08:20.439><c> mindset</c><00:08:20.759><c> that</c><00:08:20.959><c> we</c><00:08:21.120><c> have</c><00:08:21.259><c> about</c><00:08:21.600><c> ourselves.</c>

00:08:22.360 --> 00:08:25.199
It's<00:08:22.560><c> a</c><00:08:22.660><c> little</c><00:08:22.879><c> barometer</c><00:08:23.180><c> we</c><00:08:23.360><c> can</c><00:08:23.519><c> use</c><00:08:23.699><c> for</c><00:08:23.959><c> me</c><00:08:24.339><c> to</c><00:08:24.720><c> find</c><00:08:24.939><c> out</c>

00:08:25.199 --> 00:08:26.240
what<00:08:25.339><c> am</c><00:08:25.459><c> I</c><00:08:25.620><c> really</c><00:08:25.980><c> thinking?</c>

00:08:26.379 --> 00:08:27.980
What's<00:08:26.579><c> really</c><00:08:26.920><c> driving</c><00:08:27.300><c> me</c><00:08:27.579><c> in</c><00:08:27.759><c> life?</c>

00:08:28.300 --> 00:08:31.839
Am<00:08:28.439><c> I</c><00:08:28.540><c> just</c><00:08:28.860><c> going</c><00:08:29.000><c> through</c><00:08:29.339><c> life</c><00:08:29.579><c> giving</c><00:08:30.100><c> a</c><00:08:30.420><c> cursory</c><00:08:31.019><c> agreement</c><00:08:31.480><c> to</c><00:08:31.680><c> the</c>

00:08:34.480 --> 00:08:37.039
But<00:08:34.720><c> really</c><00:08:35.039><c> in</c><00:08:35.379><c> here,</c><00:08:35.679><c> I'm</c><00:08:35.940><c> thinking</c><00:08:36.240><c> that,</c><00:08:36.639><c> oh,</c><00:08:36.779><c> I'm</c><00:08:36.940><c> going</c>

should<00:11:21.320><c> be</c><00:11:21.639><c> doing</c><00:11:21.840><c> something,</c>

00:11:22.879 --> 00:11:25.600
it's<00:11:23.240><c> not</c><00:11:23.440><c> just</c><00:11:23.820><c> doing</c><00:11:24.139><c> things</c><00:11:24.440><c> that</c><00:11:24.659><c> become</c><00:11:24.940><c> sin,</c><00:11:25.159><c> but</c><00:11:25.320><c> even</c>

00:11:25.600 --> 00:11:28.220
when<00:11:25.779><c> we</c><00:11:26.179><c> fail</c><00:11:26.419><c> to</c><00:11:26.639><c> do</c><00:11:26.799><c> something,</c><00:11:27.299><c> that</c><00:11:27.539><c> becomes</c><00:11:27.879><c> sin.</c>

00:11:28.220 --> 00:11:31.720
So<00:11:28.759><c> that's</c><00:11:29.279><c> the</c><00:11:29.539><c> sins</c><00:11:29.740><c> that</c><00:11:29.919><c> you</c><00:11:30.000><c> do</c><00:11:30.159><c> by</c><00:11:30.399><c> just</c><00:11:30.799><c> failure</c><00:11:31.120><c> to</c><00:11:31.379><c> act.</c>

00:11:32.080 --> 00:11:33.919
So<00:11:32.320><c> this</c><00:11:32.639><c> is</c><00:11:33.039><c> typical</c><00:11:33.340><c> James,</c><00:11:33.820><c> though.</c>

00:11:33.919 --> 00:11:37.100
He's<00:11:34.120><c> getting</c><00:11:34.360><c> right</c><00:11:34.620><c> at</c><00:11:34.820><c> the</c><00:11:35.019><c> heart</c><00:11:35.179><c> of</c><00:11:35.379><c> what</c><00:11:35.639><c> makes</c><00:11:35.919><c> us</c><00:11:36.179><c> operate</c><00:11:36.720><c> and</c>

00:11:37.100 --> 00:11:39.320
what<00:11:37.399><c> really</c><00:11:37.720><c> is</c><00:11:38.000><c> important</c><00:11:38.299><c> in</c><00:11:38.559><c> life.</c>

00:11:39.519 --> 00:11:41.620
So<00:11:39.860><c> that's</c><00:11:40.320><c> chapter</c><00:11:40.600><c> four.</c>

00:11:42.039 --> 00:11:44.539
Now,<00:11:42.340><c> chapter</c><00:11:42.659><c> five,</c><00:11:43.080><c> what</c><00:11:43.220><c> he</c><00:11:43.379><c> moves</c><00:11:43.580><c> into</c><00:11:43.879><c> now</c><00:11:44.139><c> in</c><00:11:44.320><c> chapter</c>

00:11:44.539 --> 00:11:47.360
five<00:11:45.039><c> is</c><00:11:45.379><c> he</c><00:11:45.539><c> has</c><00:11:45.740><c> a</c><00:11:45.899><c> look</c><00:11:46.019><c> at</c><00:11:46.200><c> this</c><00:11:46.419><c> issue</c><00:11:46.659><c> of</c><00:11:47.039><c> patience,</c>

00:11:47.379 --> 00:11:49.200
and<00:11:47.600><c> he</c><00:11:47.779><c> sort</c><00:11:47.899><c> of</c><00:11:48.100><c> left</c><00:11:48.279><c> it</c><00:11:48.559><c> to</c><00:11:48.700><c> the</c><00:11:48.879><c> end.</c>

00:11:49.379 --> 00:11:52.100
It's<00:11:49.899><c> probably</c><00:11:50.279><c> a</c><00:11:50.500><c> good</c><00:11:50.600><c> way</c><00:11:50.799><c> to</c><00:11:50.980><c> deal</c><00:11:51.100><c> with</c><00:11:51.279><c> it</c><00:11:51.440><c> because</c><00:11:51.720><c> he</c>

00:11:52.100 --> 00:11:55.639
started<00:11:52.259><c> out</c><00:11:52.620><c> the</c><00:11:52.820><c> letter</c><00:11:53.100><c> about</c><00:11:53.940><c> tribulation,</c>

00:11:55.919 --> 00:11:57.860
believing<00:11:56.299><c> that</c><00:11:56.700><c> God</c><00:11:56.940><c> is</c><00:11:57.120><c> in</c><00:11:57.240><c> our</c><00:11:57.500><c> trials,</c>

00:11:57.860 --> 00:12:00.899
asking<00:11:58.340><c> for</c><00:11:58.620><c> the</c><00:11:58.860><c> wisdom</c><00:11:59.200><c> to</c><00:11:59.500><c> understand</c><00:12:00.100><c> why</c><00:12:00.480><c> these</c><00:12:00.740><c> things</c>

00:12:00.899 --> 00:12:01.539
are<00:12:01.200><c> happening</c>

00:12:01.539 --> 00:12:06.059
instead<00:12:02.279><c> of</c><00:12:02.600><c> blaming</c><00:12:02.919><c> God</c><00:12:03.379><c> for</c><00:12:03.580><c> the</c><00:12:03.820><c> troubles</c><00:12:04.159><c> that</c><00:12:04.600><c> come</c><00:12:04.840><c> into</c><00:12:05.059><c> our</c><00:12:05.299><c> life.</c>

00:12:06.080 --> 00:12:09.799
Well,<00:12:06.279><c> now</c><00:12:06.500><c> he</c><00:12:06.700><c> ends</c><00:12:07.059><c> the</c><00:12:07.340><c> letter</c><00:12:07.519><c> on</c><00:12:07.799><c> this</c><00:12:08.019><c> issue</c><00:12:08.419><c> of</c><00:12:08.740><c> being</c><00:12:09.259><c> patient</c>

00:12:09.799 --> 00:12:13.779
because<00:12:10.500><c> he</c><00:12:10.799><c> knew</c><00:12:11.039><c> that</c><00:12:11.279><c> the</c><00:12:11.519><c> believers</c><00:12:11.779><c> were</c><00:12:12.019><c> going</c><00:12:12.139><c> to</c><00:12:12.399><c> suffer</c><00:12:12.639><c> a</c><00:12:12.860><c> lot</c><00:12:13.059><c> of</c><00:12:13.259><c> persecution.</c>

00:12:14.220 --> 00:12:16.639
There<00:12:14.360><c> were</c><00:12:14.519><c> going</c><00:12:14.600><c> to</c><00:12:14.700><c> be</c><00:12:14.899><c> trials</c><00:12:15.259><c> that</c><00:12:15.519><c> came</c><00:12:15.659><c> into</c><00:12:15.860><c> their</c><00:12:16.080><c> lives</c><00:12:16.419><c> as</c>

00:12:16.639 --> 00:12:19.059
a<00:12:16.779><c> result</c><00:12:17.159><c> of</c><00:12:17.620><c> Jews</c><00:12:17.879><c> persecuting</c><00:12:18.620><c> Jews,</c>

00:12:19.080 --> 00:12:21.740
and<00:12:19.559><c> then</c><00:12:19.799><c> later</c><00:12:20.059><c> on</c><00:12:20.299><c> there</c><00:12:20.419><c> would</c><00:12:20.580><c> be</c><00:12:20.779><c> even</c><00:12:21.100><c> Gentiles</c><00:12:21.600><c> that</c>

00:12:21.740 --> 00:12:23.279
were<00:12:21.860><c> going</c><00:12:21.980><c> to</c><00:12:22.220><c> persecute</c><00:12:22.519><c> them</c><00:12:22.700><c> as</c><00:12:22.919><c> well.</c>

00:12:23.279 --> 00:12:26.980
So,<00:12:24.379><c> chapter</c><00:12:24.379><c> five,</c><00:12:24.940><c> look,</c><00:12:25.259><c> come</c><00:12:25.460><c> now,</c><00:12:25.980><c> you</c><00:12:26.159><c> rich.</c>

00:12:27.080 --> 00:12:30.980
Weep<00:12:27.600><c> and</c><00:12:28.080><c> howl</c><00:12:28.679><c> for</c><00:12:29.000><c> your</c><00:12:29.360><c> miseries</c><00:12:29.840><c> that</c><00:12:30.000><c> are</c><00:12:30.200><c> coming</c><00:12:30.360><c> upon</c><00:12:30.679><c> you.</c>

00:12:31.379 --> 00:12:34.639
Now,<00:12:31.899><c> that's</c><00:12:32.559><c> a</c><00:12:32.700><c> lot</c><00:12:32.840><c> the</c><00:12:33.120><c> language</c><00:12:33.539><c> of</c><00:12:33.799><c> when</c><00:12:34.139><c> you</c><00:12:34.279><c> look</c><00:12:34.460><c> back</c>

00:12:36.000 --> 00:12:39.320
that<00:12:36.200><c> phrase</c><00:12:36.580><c> about</c><00:12:36.940><c> telling</c><00:12:37.419><c> the</c><00:12:37.639><c> rich</c><00:12:37.820><c> to</c><00:12:38.139><c> weep</c><00:12:38.480><c> and</c><00:12:38.639><c> to</c><00:12:38.899><c> howl</c><00:12:39.159><c> for</c>

00:12:39.320 --> 00:12:40.700
the<00:12:39.519><c> miseries</c><00:12:39.860><c> that</c><00:12:39.960><c> are</c><00:12:40.120><c> coming</c><00:12:40.279><c> on</c><00:12:40.519><c> you,</c>

00:12:40.860 --> 00:12:43.679
and<00:12:41.000><c> you</c><00:12:41.120><c> can</c><00:12:41.419><c> correlate</c><00:12:41.779><c> that</c><00:12:42.120><c> with</c><00:12:42.399><c> Micah's</c><00:12:42.980><c> prophecies</c><00:12:43.480><c> in</c>

chapter<00:12:44.000><c> one.</c>

00:12:44.580 --> 00:12:49.720
You<00:12:44.779><c> can</c><00:12:44.980><c> look</c><00:12:45.179><c> at</c><00:12:45.299><c> Isaiah</c><00:12:45.700><c> 13,</c><00:12:46.360><c> where</c><00:12:46.539><c> he</c><00:12:46.720><c> talks</c><00:12:46.980><c> about</c><00:12:47.340><c> wailing</c><00:12:47.740><c> or</c><00:12:48.039><c> howling</c><00:12:48.519><c> for</c><00:12:48.779><c> the</c><00:12:48.960><c> day</c><00:12:49.200><c> the</c><00:12:49.320><c> Lord</c><00:12:49.539><c> is</c>

in<00:18:59.640><c> a</c><00:18:59.740><c> unified</c><00:19:00.339><c> term</c><00:19:00.660><c> about</c><00:19:00.940><c> their</c><00:19:01.160><c> God,</c>

00:19:01.920 --> 00:19:03.579
even<00:19:02.160><c> though</c><00:19:02.400><c> they</c><00:19:02.519><c> may</c><00:19:02.759><c> have</c><00:19:02.980><c> individually,</c>

00:19:03.740 --> 00:19:06.119
I'm<00:19:03.960><c> sure</c><00:19:04.160><c> the</c><00:19:04.400><c> Apostle</c><00:19:04.819><c> Paul</c><00:19:05.059><c> in</c><00:19:05.200><c> all</c><00:19:05.400><c> of</c><00:19:05.559><c> his</c><00:19:05.740><c> upbringing,</c>

00:19:06.500 --> 00:19:08.440
would<00:19:06.599><c> in</c><00:19:06.680><c> his</c><00:19:06.880><c> own</c><00:19:07.140><c> prayers</c><00:19:07.500><c> refer</c><00:19:07.859><c> to</c><00:19:08.119><c> Yahweh</c>

00:19:08.440 --> 00:19:09.980
and<00:19:08.579><c> talk</c><00:19:08.900><c> to</c><00:19:09.079><c> Yahweh</c><00:19:09.440><c> his</c><00:19:09.660><c> God,</c>

00:19:10.299 --> 00:19:12.359
but<00:19:10.519><c> in</c><00:19:10.880><c> public</c><00:19:11.200><c> they</c><00:19:11.440><c> didn't</c><00:19:11.660><c> do</c><00:19:11.940><c> that</c>

00:19:12.359 --> 00:19:14.720
because<00:19:12.859><c> it</c><00:19:13.259><c> led</c><00:19:13.440><c> to</c><00:19:13.740><c> a</c><00:19:13.940><c> divisive</c><00:19:14.400><c> spirit.</c>

00:19:14.880 --> 00:19:17.720
It<00:19:15.019><c> didn't</c><00:19:15.400><c> help</c><00:19:15.740><c> the</c><00:19:16.140><c> problem</c><00:19:16.480><c> of</c><00:19:17.019><c> bringing</c><00:19:17.220><c> together</c>

00:19:17.720 --> 00:19:18.839
the<00:19:18.000><c> Jews</c><00:19:18.220><c> and</c><00:19:18.420><c> the</c><00:19:18.579><c> Greeks.</c>

00:19:19.299 --> 00:19:21.039
And<00:19:19.480><c> it's</c><00:19:19.640><c> just</c><00:19:19.920><c> another</c><00:19:20.220><c> one</c><00:19:20.359><c> of</c><00:19:20.500><c> these</c><00:19:20.720><c> warnings</c>

00:19:21.039 --> 00:19:23.079
in<00:19:21.240><c> a</c><00:19:21.420><c> collegial</c><00:19:21.660><c> life</c><00:19:21.920><c> that</c><00:19:22.099><c> we</c><00:19:22.259><c> have</c><00:19:22.420><c> to</c><00:19:22.559><c> be</c><00:19:22.759><c> careful.</c>

00:19:23.359 --> 00:19:26.640
We<00:19:23.660><c> want</c><00:19:23.880><c> to</c><00:19:24.099><c> look</c><00:19:24.220><c> for</c><00:19:24.440><c> things</c><00:19:24.640><c> to</c><00:19:24.940><c> bring</c><00:19:25.160><c> unity</c><00:19:25.759><c> of</c><00:19:26.119><c> the</c><00:19:26.380><c> Spirit</c>

00:19:26.640 --> 00:19:27.700
in<00:19:26.819><c> the</c><00:19:26.980><c> bonds</c><00:19:27.160><c> of</c><00:19:27.359><c> peace,</c>

00:19:27.700 --> 00:19:31.160
not<00:19:28.299><c> things</c><00:19:28.640><c> that</c><00:19:28.960><c> cause</c><00:19:29.220><c> division</c><00:19:29.940><c> and</c><00:19:30.400><c> set</c><00:19:30.539><c> up</c><00:19:30.759><c> camps.</c>

00:19:31.579 --> 00:19:33.660
And<00:19:31.839><c> so</c><00:19:32.019><c> it's</c><00:19:32.299><c> a</c><00:19:32.559><c> spirit</c><00:19:32.799><c> that</c><00:19:32.960><c> we</c><00:19:33.079><c> have</c><00:19:33.259><c> to</c><00:19:33.440><c> watch</c>

00:19:33.660 --> 00:19:34.839
in<00:19:33.799><c> our</c><00:19:33.980><c> community</c><00:19:34.400><c> today.</c>

00:19:35.180 --> 00:19:37.039
So<00:19:35.339><c> it's</c><00:19:35.559><c> one</c><00:19:35.720><c> thing</c><00:19:35.839><c> to</c><00:19:36.019><c> do</c><00:19:36.119><c> something</c><00:19:36.420><c> personally.</c>

00:19:37.319 --> 00:19:40.599
You<00:19:37.480><c> can</c><00:19:37.759><c> see</c><00:19:37.960><c> that</c><00:19:38.200><c> both</c><00:19:38.500><c> James</c><00:19:38.920><c> and</c><00:19:39.359><c> Paul,</c><00:19:40.079><c> real</c><00:19:40.220><c> leaders,</c>

00:19:40.859 --> 00:19:44.259
both<00:19:41.140><c> used</c><00:19:41.440><c> that</c><00:19:41.720><c> phrase,</c><00:19:42.519><c> the</c><00:19:42.799><c> Lord</c><00:19:43.220><c> of</c><00:19:43.539><c> Sabaoth,</c>

00:19:44.380 --> 00:19:45.839
so<00:19:44.599><c> that</c><00:19:44.819><c> to</c><00:19:45.019><c> the</c><00:19:45.259><c> Jewish</c><00:19:45.519><c> mind,</c>

00:19:45.940 --> 00:19:47.539
they<00:19:46.019><c> would</c><00:19:46.119><c> have</c><00:19:46.220><c> gotten</c><00:19:46.359><c> right</c><00:19:46.700><c> to</c><00:19:46.900><c> what</c><00:19:47.059><c> that</c><00:19:47.359><c> meant,</c>

00:19:47.759 --> 00:19:50.019
but<00:19:48.000><c> to</c><00:19:48.259><c> the</c><00:19:48.460><c> Gentiles,</c><00:19:49.359><c> it</c><00:19:49.400><c> didn't</c><00:19:49.720><c> offend,</c>

00:19:50.140 --> 00:19:51.460
it<00:19:50.240><c> didn't</c><00:19:50.440><c> cause</c><00:19:50.779><c> them</c><00:19:50.920><c> to</c><00:19:51.099><c> think</c><00:19:51.240><c> about,</c>

00:19:51.680 --> 00:19:53.720
well,<00:19:51.680><c> we're</c><00:19:51.940><c> back</c><00:19:52.099><c> to</c><00:19:52.279><c> this</c><00:19:52.480><c> issue</c><00:19:52.720><c> of</c><00:19:52.859><c> the</c><00:19:53.039><c> God</c><00:19:53.180><c> of</c><00:19:53.339><c> the</c><00:19:53.500><c> Jews</c>

00:19:53.720 --> 00:19:55.400
versus<00:19:54.000><c> the</c><00:19:54.240><c> God</c><00:19:54.380><c> of</c><00:19:54.539><c> the</c><00:19:54.700><c> Greeks.</c>

00:19:55.480 --> 00:19:58.359
I've<00:19:55.960><c> used</c><00:19:55.960><c> that</c><00:19:56.220><c> passage</c><00:19:56.539><c> in</c><00:19:56.720><c> Timothy</c><00:19:57.079><c> and</c><00:19:57.259><c> Ephesians</c><00:19:57.660><c> for</c><00:19:57.859><c> years</c>

00:19:58.359 --> 00:20:00.539
against<00:19:58.920><c> the</c><00:19:59.160><c> Trinity</c><00:19:59.460><c> and</c><00:19:59.819><c> not</c><00:20:00.039><c> realizing</c>

00:20:00.539 --> 00:20:02.400
that<00:20:00.759><c> when</c><00:20:00.920><c> he</c><00:20:01.160><c> says</c><00:20:01.339><c> there</c><00:20:01.500><c> is</c><00:20:01.740><c> one</c><00:20:02.019><c> God,</c>

00:20:02.440 --> 00:20:04.559
it's<00:20:02.799><c> nothing</c><00:20:03.039><c> to</c><00:20:03.259><c> do</c><00:20:03.319><c> with</c><00:20:03.500><c> the</c><00:20:03.680><c> Trinity.</c>

00:20:04.720 --> 00:20:08.339
The<00:20:05.119><c> context</c><00:20:05.440><c> of</c><00:20:05.680><c> the</c><00:20:05.839><c> passage</c><00:20:06.140><c> is</c><00:20:06.480><c> there's</c><00:20:06.980><c> only</c><00:20:07.480><c> one</c><00:20:07.900><c> God.</c>

00:20:08.640 --> 00:20:11.960
He's<00:20:09.019><c> the</c><00:20:09.180><c> God</c><00:20:09.339><c> of</c><00:20:09.539><c> the</c><00:20:09.819><c> Jews</c><00:20:10.180><c> and</c><00:20:10.500><c> the</c><00:20:10.680><c> God</c><00:20:10.819><c> of</c><00:20:10.980><c> the</c><00:20:11.140><c> Greeks.</c>

00:20:12.019 --> 00:20:14.720
And<00:20:12.220><c> that</c><00:20:12.720><c> was</c><00:20:12.960><c> the</c><00:20:13.200><c> emphasis</c><00:20:13.539><c> these</c><00:20:13.920><c> people</c><00:20:14.180><c> had</c><00:20:14.420><c> to</c><00:20:14.579><c> do</c>

00:20:14.720 --> 00:20:17.359
because<00:20:15.059><c> there</c><00:20:15.240><c> was</c><00:20:15.420><c> such</c><00:20:15.680><c> a</c><00:20:15.839><c> divisive</c><00:20:16.240><c> spirit</c><00:20:16.539><c> at</c><00:20:16.880><c> that</c><00:20:17.079><c> time.</c>

00:20:17.819 --> 00:20:19.819
So<00:20:18.019><c> just</c><00:20:18.259><c> a</c><00:20:18.460><c> possibility</c><00:20:18.940><c> that</c><00:20:19.259><c> may</c><00:20:19.420><c> be</c><00:20:19.619><c> there,</c>

00:20:19.839 --> 00:20:21.539
and<00:20:20.019><c> one</c><00:20:20.140><c> of</c><00:20:20.279><c> the</c><00:20:20.400><c> things</c><00:20:20.579><c> we</c><00:20:20.720><c> have</c><00:20:20.900><c> to</c><00:20:21.059><c> watch</c><00:20:21.259><c> for</c>

00:20:21.539 --> 00:20:23.339
in<00:20:21.720><c> a</c><00:20:21.819><c> collegial</c><00:20:22.059><c> life</c><00:20:22.279><c> ourselves.</c>

00:20:23.519 --> 00:20:26.680
So<00:20:23.960><c> what</c><00:20:24.400><c> had</c><00:20:24.680><c> happened</c><00:20:24.900><c> here</c><00:20:25.240><c> is</c><00:20:25.460><c> that</c><00:20:25.660><c> these</c><00:20:25.920><c> folks,</c><00:20:26.180><c> you</c><00:20:26.400><c> see,</c>

00:20:26.960 --> 00:20:28.660
in<00:20:27.039><c> verse</c><00:20:27.259><c> five,</c><00:20:27.599><c> they'd</c><00:20:27.980><c> lived</c><00:20:28.099><c> on</c><00:20:28.400><c> the</c><00:20:28.500><c> earth</c>

00:20:28.660 --> 00:20:29.720
in<00:20:28.920><c> pleasure</c><00:20:29.180><c> and</c><00:20:29.400><c> luxury.</c>

00:20:30.079 --> 00:20:32.359
You've<00:20:30.319><c> fattened</c><00:20:30.680><c> your</c><00:20:30.920><c> hearts</c><00:20:31.200><c> as</c><00:20:31.380><c> in</c><00:20:31.559><c> a</c><00:20:31.640><c> day</c><00:20:31.740><c> of</c><00:20:32.079><c> slaughter.</c>

00:20:32.779 --> 00:20:35.660
They'd<00:20:33.099><c> condemned,</c><00:20:33.960><c> you</c><00:20:34.180><c> have</c><00:20:34.420><c> murdered</c><00:20:34.940><c> the</c><00:20:35.319><c> just,</c>

00:20:36.000 --> 00:20:37.359
and<00:20:36.099><c> he</c><00:20:36.240><c> does</c><00:20:36.500><c> not</c><00:20:36.680><c> resist</c><00:20:37.059><c> you,</c>

00:20:37.500 --> 00:20:39.099
in<00:20:37.700><c> verses</c><00:20:37.940><c> five</c><00:20:38.240><c> and</c><00:20:38.400><c> six</c><00:20:38.680><c> right</c><00:20:38.900><c> there.</c>

00:20:39.400 --> 00:20:41.180
So<00:20:39.559><c> that's</c><00:20:39.759><c> what</c><00:20:39.920><c> these</c><00:20:40.220><c> Jewish</c><00:20:40.440><c> people</c><00:20:40.799><c> had</c><00:20:40.980><c> done.</c>

00:20:41.240 --> 00:20:43.980
These<00:20:41.660><c> rich</c><00:20:42.140><c> Jews</c><00:20:42.619><c> that</c><00:20:42.819><c> had</c><00:20:42.980><c> probably</c><00:20:43.200><c> been</c><00:20:43.460><c> established</c>

00:20:43.980 --> 00:20:45.900
and<00:20:44.180><c> had</c><00:20:44.279><c> the</c><00:20:44.500><c> money,</c><00:20:44.799><c> they</c><00:20:44.920><c> were</c><00:20:45.099><c> taking</c><00:20:45.400><c> advantage</c>

00:20:45.900 --> 00:20:47.480
of<00:20:46.099><c> their</c><00:20:46.299><c> brethren</c><00:20:46.539><c> that</c><00:20:46.720><c> would</c><00:20:46.880><c> come</c><00:20:47.079><c> in,</c>

00:20:47.539 --> 00:20:49.579

00:20:49.839 --> 00:20:51.000
They'd<00:20:50.059><c> have</c><00:20:50.140><c> them</c><00:20:50.339><c> work</c><00:20:50.539><c> for</c><00:20:50.759><c> them,</c>

00:20:51.000 --> 00:20:52.220
and<00:20:51.119><c> they</c><00:20:51.240><c> wouldn't</c><00:20:51.420><c> even</c><00:20:51.599><c> give</c><00:20:51.619><c> them</c><00:20:51.759><c> their</c><00:20:51.920><c> wages.</c>

00:20:52.220 --> 00:20:53.400
They<00:20:52.460><c> wouldn't</c><00:20:52.680><c> take</c><00:20:52.920><c> care</c><00:20:53.119><c> of</c><00:20:53.279><c> them.</c>

00:20:53.420 --> 00:20:55.700
They<00:20:53.500><c> wouldn't</c><00:20:53.819><c> treat</c><00:20:54.119><c> them</c><00:20:54.339><c> like</c><00:20:54.519><c> they</c><00:20:54.640><c> were</c><00:20:54.859><c> supposed</c><00:20:55.200><c> to.</c>

00:20:56.099 --> 00:20:58.940
And<00:20:56.299><c> James</c><00:20:56.519><c> is</c><00:20:56.700><c> really</c><00:20:57.160><c> hard</c><00:20:57.519><c> on</c><00:20:57.819><c> this</c><00:20:58.160><c> class</c><00:20:58.420><c> of</c><00:20:58.680><c> people.</c>

00:20:59.319 --> 00:21:01.000
They'd<00:20:59.759><c> fattened</c><00:21:00.099><c> their</c><00:21:00.319><c> hearts,</c><00:21:00.519><c> he</c><00:21:00.799><c> says,</c>

00:21:01.119 --> 00:21:02.119
as<00:21:01.240><c> in</c><00:21:01.420><c> a</c><00:21:01.519><c> day</c><00:21:01.619><c> of</c><00:21:01.900><c> slaughter.</c>

00:21:02.339 --> 00:21:05.140
They<00:21:02.480><c> were</c><00:21:02.880><c> just</c><00:21:03.640><c> living</c><00:21:04.059><c> off</c><00:21:04.400><c> of</c><00:21:04.599><c> all</c><00:21:04.779><c> this</c><00:21:05.019><c> stuff</c>

00:21:05.140 --> 00:21:06.640
and<00:21:05.319><c> all</c><00:21:05.460><c> the</c><00:21:05.700><c> pleasures</c><00:21:05.920><c> of</c><00:21:06.119><c> this</c><00:21:06.359><c> world.</c>

00:21:06.859 --> 00:21:08.779
Thought<00:21:07.019><c> they</c><00:21:07.200><c> had</c><00:21:07.420><c> amassed</c><00:21:07.799><c> all</c><00:21:08.160><c> this</c><00:21:08.500><c> wealth</c>

00:21:08.779 --> 00:21:10.720
and<00:21:09.319><c> all</c><00:21:09.519><c> this</c><00:21:09.799><c> great</c><00:21:10.259><c> stuff,</c>

00:21:11.180 --> 00:21:13.140
as<00:21:11.279><c> Brother</c><00:21:11.519><c> Jim</c><00:21:11.700><c> was</c><00:21:11.900><c> talking</c><00:21:12.200><c> about</c><00:21:12.500><c> last</c><00:21:12.880><c> night.</c>

00:21:13.400 --> 00:21:14.420
But<00:21:13.579><c> in</c><00:21:13.839><c> the</c><00:21:13.920><c> end,</c><00:21:14.039><c> he</c><00:21:14.279><c> said,</c>

00:21:14.579 --> 00:21:16.140
you<00:21:14.619><c> don't</c><00:21:14.900><c> realize</c><00:21:15.299><c> the</c><00:21:15.539><c> day's</c><00:21:15.940><c> coming</c>

00:21:16.140 --> 00:21:18.240
because<00:21:16.700><c> the</c><00:21:17.059><c> Romans</c><00:21:17.339><c> were</c><00:21:17.579><c> going</c><00:21:17.700><c> to</c><00:21:17.880><c> come</c><00:21:18.039><c> in,</c>

00:21:18.240 --> 00:21:19.720
and<00:21:18.380><c> they</c><00:21:18.539><c> were</c><00:21:18.680><c> going</c><00:21:18.799><c> to</c><00:21:19.000><c> take</c><00:21:19.119><c> it</c><00:21:19.299><c> all</c><00:21:19.440><c> away.</c>

00:21:19.720 --> 00:21:22.279
And<00:21:20.240><c> really,</c><00:21:20.619><c> what</c><00:21:20.799><c> ended</c><00:21:21.079><c> up</c><00:21:21.359><c> happening</c><00:21:21.619><c> in</c><00:21:21.880><c> the</c><00:21:22.019><c> end</c>

00:21:22.279 --> 00:21:24.599
is<00:21:22.839><c> that</c><00:21:23.079><c> the</c><00:21:23.359><c> Jews</c><00:21:23.619><c> that</c><00:21:23.839><c> had</c><00:21:24.119><c> accumulated</c>

00:21:24.599 --> 00:21:27.460
the<00:21:24.960><c> most</c><00:21:25.319><c> wealth</c><00:21:25.759><c> and</c><00:21:26.299><c> the</c><00:21:26.460><c> most</c><00:21:26.980><c> stuff,</c>

00:21:27.859 --> 00:21:30.900
those<00:21:28.200><c> were</c><00:21:28.460><c> the</c><00:21:28.660><c> ones</c><00:21:28.839><c> who</c><00:21:29.099><c> actually</c><00:21:29.539><c> got</c><00:21:29.819><c> the</c><00:21:30.079><c> worst</c><00:21:30.279><c> persecution,</c>

00:21:30.980 --> 00:21:33.680
because<00:21:31.359><c> that's</c><00:21:31.720><c> what</c><00:21:31.900><c> the</c><00:21:32.059><c> Roman</c><00:21:32.339><c> armies</c><00:21:32.680><c> went</c><00:21:32.880><c> after</c><00:21:33.279><c> first.</c>

00:21:34.099 --> 00:21:36.640
So<00:21:34.339><c> they,</c><00:21:34.619><c> in</c><00:21:34.799><c> the</c><00:21:34.940><c> end,</c><00:21:35.299><c> actually</c><00:21:35.559><c> probably</c><00:21:35.839><c> got</c><00:21:36.000><c> it</c><00:21:36.259><c> worse</c>

00:21:36.640 --> 00:21:37.660
than<00:21:36.940><c> the</c><00:21:37.160><c> others</c><00:21:37.339><c> did.</c>

00:21:38.039 --> 00:21:39.460
So<00:21:38.259><c> many</c><00:21:38.480><c> of</c><00:21:38.599><c> these</c><00:21:38.799><c> wealthy</c><00:21:39.079><c> Jews,</c>

00:21:39.740 --> 00:21:42.339
they<00:21:39.740><c> really</c><00:21:40.099><c> were</c><00:21:40.359><c> severely</c><00:21:40.779><c> persecuted</c><00:21:41.359><c> in</c><00:21:41.759><c> 1870.</c>

00:21:42.460 --> 00:21:44.819
And<00:21:42.599><c> the</c><00:21:42.740><c> riches</c><00:21:43.000><c> that</c><00:21:43.240><c> had</c><00:21:43.440><c> brought</c><00:21:43.579><c> them</c><00:21:43.859><c> all</c><00:21:44.140><c> this</c><00:21:44.440><c> pleasure</c>

00:21:44.819 --> 00:21:47.039
in<00:21:45.039><c> the</c><00:21:45.240><c> end</c><00:21:45.400><c> became</c><00:21:45.700><c> a</c><00:21:45.940><c> liability.</c>

00:21:47.660 --> 00:21:49.420
And<00:21:47.759><c> so</c><00:21:48.140><c> Yahweh</c><00:21:48.559><c> of</c><00:21:48.799><c> armies</c><00:21:49.079><c> did.</c>

00:21:49.420 --> 00:21:51.740
He<00:21:49.579><c> moved</c><00:21:49.900><c> in,</c><00:21:50.400><c> and</c><00:21:50.500><c> he</c><00:21:50.640><c> took</c><00:21:50.839><c> care</c><00:21:51.059><c> of</c><00:21:51.200><c> the</c><00:21:51.400><c> problem,</c>

00:21:51.839 --> 00:21:54.720
and<00:21:52.000><c> he</c><00:21:52.200><c> really</c><00:21:52.559><c> suppressed</c><00:21:53.000><c> the</c><00:21:53.240><c> Jews</c><00:21:53.420><c> at</c><00:21:53.700><c> that</c><00:21:53.900><c> time.</c>

00:21:54.839 --> 00:21:56.579
You<00:21:54.940><c> go</c><00:21:55.099><c> back</c><00:21:55.240><c> and</c><00:21:55.359><c> look</c><00:21:55.500><c> at</c><00:21:55.579><c> that</c><00:21:55.859><c> phrase</c><00:21:56.200><c> of</c>

00:21:56.579 --> 00:21:58.339
Yahweh<00:21:56.920><c> of</c><00:21:57.099><c> armies,</c><00:21:57.500><c> our</c><00:21:57.579><c> Lord</c><00:21:57.759><c> of</c><00:21:57.940><c> Sabaoth,</c>

00:21:58.339 --> 00:21:59.019
in<00:21:58.480><c> the</c><00:21:58.539><c> Old</c><00:21:58.720><c> Testament.</c>

00:21:59.180 --> 00:22:01.200
It's<00:21:59.240><c> actually</c><00:21:59.460><c> used</c><00:21:59.660><c> about</c><00:21:59.920><c> 70</c><00:22:00.200><c> times</c><00:22:00.579><c> in</c><00:22:00.779><c> Jeremiah,</c>

00:22:01.319 --> 00:22:03.019
as<00:22:01.380><c> we've</c><00:22:01.579><c> been</c><00:22:01.720><c> going</c><00:22:01.819><c> through</c><00:22:02.039><c> the</c><00:22:02.220><c> readings</c><00:22:02.420><c> in</c><00:22:02.680><c> Jeremiah.</c>

00:22:03.480 --> 00:22:06.119
And<00:22:03.700><c> almost</c><00:22:03.980><c> every</c><00:22:04.420><c> time</c><00:22:04.579><c> it's</c><00:22:04.880><c> used</c><00:22:05.140><c> within</c><00:22:05.380><c> that</c><00:22:05.700><c> context,</c>

00:22:06.160 --> 00:22:07.839
that<00:22:06.240><c> he's</c><00:22:06.460><c> going</c><00:22:06.539><c> to</c><00:22:06.680><c> bring</c><00:22:06.819><c> down</c><00:22:06.960><c> the</c><00:22:07.119><c> king</c><00:22:07.240><c> of</c><00:22:07.380><c> the</c><00:22:07.519><c> north,</c>

00:22:08.200 --> 00:22:10.140

00:22:10.140 --> 00:22:12.059
and<00:22:10.240><c> he's</c><00:22:10.460><c> going</c><00:22:10.579><c> to</c><00:22:10.759><c> take</c><00:22:10.940><c> care</c><00:22:11.180><c> of</c><00:22:11.380><c> this</c><00:22:11.640><c> problem</c>

00:22:12.059 --> 00:22:14.700
of<00:22:12.519><c> all</c><00:22:12.819><c> the</c><00:22:13.059><c> Jews</c><00:22:13.240><c> who</c><00:22:13.440><c> had</c><00:22:13.559><c> the</c><00:22:13.819><c> idols</c><00:22:14.019><c> in</c><00:22:14.160><c> their</c><00:22:14.420><c> hearts</c>

00:22:14.700 --> 00:22:16.420
and<00:22:15.000><c> couldn't</c><00:22:15.519><c> get</c><00:22:15.740><c> rid</c><00:22:15.920><c> of</c><00:22:16.079><c> them.</c>

00:22:16.420 --> 00:22:19.259
And<00:22:16.880><c> it's</c><00:22:17.339><c> used</c><00:22:17.460><c> as</c><00:22:17.700><c> well</c><00:22:17.900><c> 50</c><00:22:18.460><c> times</c><00:22:18.819><c> in</c><00:22:18.960><c> Isaiah,</c>

00:22:19.339 --> 00:22:20.720
24<00:22:19.740><c> times</c><00:22:20.099><c> in</c><00:22:20.319><c> Malachi.</c>

00:22:21.059 --> 00:22:23.740
But<00:22:21.279><c> inevitably,</c><00:22:22.019><c> it's</c><00:22:22.220><c> usually</c><00:22:22.640><c> about</c><00:22:23.019><c> the</c><00:22:23.259><c> destruction</c>

00:22:23.740 --> 00:22:27.279
about<00:22:24.539><c> God</c><00:22:24.900><c> coming</c><00:22:25.160><c> in</c><00:22:25.539><c> with</c><00:22:26.140><c> his</c><00:22:26.519><c> angelic</c><00:22:27.019><c> host,</c>

00:22:29.359 --> 00:22:31.619
and<00:22:29.500><c> bringing</c><00:22:29.759><c> about</c><00:22:30.079><c> the</c><00:22:30.339><c> destruction</c><00:22:30.720><c> of</c><00:22:30.960><c> the</c><00:22:31.140><c> Jewish</c><00:22:31.359><c> community,</c>

00:22:32.039 --> 00:22:33.819
and<00:22:32.180><c> that's</c><00:22:32.500><c> probably</c><00:22:32.819><c> what</c><00:22:33.000><c> it</c><00:22:33.140><c> was</c><00:22:33.259><c> here,</c><00:22:33.559><c> too,</c>

00:22:33.819 --> 00:22:36.279

00:22:49.839 --> 00:22:53.359

00:23:06.200 --> 00:23:07.119
how<00:23:06.400><c> he</c><00:23:06.579><c> does</c><00:23:06.859><c> this</c>

00:23:07.119 --> 00:23:09.779
in<00:23:07.380><c> verses,</c><00:23:08.099><c> if</c><00:23:08.380><c> you</c><00:23:08.500><c> went</c><00:23:08.579><c> back</c><00:23:08.819><c> like</c><00:23:08.980><c> in</c><00:23:09.099><c> the</c><00:23:09.240><c> chapter</c><00:23:09.500><c> 2,</c>

00:23:11.740 --> 00:23:12.880
remember<00:23:12.240><c> how</c><00:23:12.400><c> he</c><00:23:12.640><c> said,</c>

00:23:13.380 --> 00:23:16.359
how<00:23:13.380><c> can</c><00:23:13.700><c> you</c><00:23:14.119><c> show</c><00:23:14.440><c> such</c><00:23:14.920><c> favoritism</c><00:23:15.660><c> to</c><00:23:15.859><c> the</c><00:23:16.079><c> rich</c>

00:23:16.359 --> 00:23:18.539

00:23:18.539 --> 00:23:20.119
and<00:23:18.640><c> they</c><00:23:19.039><c> drag</c><00:23:19.180><c> you</c><00:23:19.380><c> into</c><00:23:19.480><c> the</c><00:23:19.759><c> courts?</c>

00:23:20.559 --> 00:23:23.140
Do<00:23:20.720><c> not</c><00:23:20.940><c> they</c><00:23:21.279><c> blaspheme</c><00:23:21.799><c> that</c><00:23:22.119><c> noble</c><00:23:22.359><c> name</c><00:23:22.619><c> by</c><00:23:22.819><c> which</c><00:23:22.980><c> you</c>

are<00:23:23.359><c> called?</c>

00:23:23.740 --> 00:23:26.940
So<00:23:23.980><c> that</c><00:23:24.380><c> certainly</c><00:23:24.799><c> sounds</c><00:23:25.240><c> like</c><00:23:25.519><c> these</c><00:23:25.839><c> are</c><00:23:26.160><c> not</c><00:23:26.420><c> believers.</c>

00:23:27.400 --> 00:23:29.619
And<00:23:27.779><c> then</c><00:23:28.059><c> in</c><00:23:28.240><c> this</c><00:23:28.539><c> little</c><00:23:28.720><c> section</c><00:23:29.019><c> right</c><00:23:29.319><c> here,</c>

00:23:29.839 --> 00:23:32.480
he<00:23:30.039><c> never</c><00:23:30.400><c> uses</c><00:23:30.839><c> the</c><00:23:31.099><c> word</c><00:23:31.319><c> brethren</c><00:23:31.660><c> about</c><00:23:31.960><c> them</c><00:23:32.160><c> ever.</c>

00:23:32.940 --> 00:23:36.180
But<00:23:33.200><c> then</c><00:23:33.740><c> in</c><00:23:33.980><c> verse</c><00:23:34.200><c> 7,</c><00:23:34.519><c> there's</c><00:23:34.779><c> a</c><00:23:34.980><c> major</c><00:23:35.279><c> shift,</c><00:23:35.740><c> you</c><00:23:35.980><c> see.</c>

00:23:36.220 --> 00:23:37.279
When<00:23:36.359><c> you</c><00:23:36.480><c> look</c><00:23:36.599><c> at</c><00:23:36.759><c> verse</c><00:23:36.940><c> 7,</c>

00:23:37.480 --> 00:23:39.640
it's<00:23:37.619><c> probably</c><00:23:37.779><c> worth</c><00:23:38.119><c> the</c><00:23:38.420><c> underlining</c><00:23:38.740><c> or</c><00:23:39.039><c> coloring</c><00:23:39.299><c> in.</c>

00:23:42.880 --> 00:23:46.140
You<00:23:43.079><c> see</c><00:23:43.279><c> that</c><00:23:43.519><c> again</c><00:23:43.759><c> in</c><00:23:43.960><c> verse</c><00:23:44.200><c> 9,</c><00:23:44.700><c> verse</c><00:23:44.980><c> 10,</c><00:23:45.500><c> verse</c><00:23:45.700><c> 12,</c>

verse<00:23:46.420><c> 19.</c>

00:23:47.220 --> 00:23:50.119
He<00:23:47.380><c> keeps</c><00:23:47.799><c> referring</c><00:23:48.299><c> to</c><00:23:48.819><c> brethren</c><00:23:49.339><c> at</c><00:23:49.619><c> this</c><00:23:49.920><c> point.</c>

00:23:50.440 --> 00:23:53.599
So<00:23:50.619><c> it's</c><00:23:51.000><c> almost</c><00:23:51.319><c> like</c><00:23:51.839><c> the</c><00:23:52.220><c> very</c><00:23:52.440><c> fact</c><00:23:52.579><c> he</c><00:23:52.759><c> left</c><00:23:52.980><c> that</c><00:23:53.279><c> word</c><00:23:53.380><c> out</c>

00:23:55.799 --> 00:23:57.279
he's<00:23:56.359><c> not</c><00:23:56.599><c> really</c><00:23:56.880><c> referring,</c>

00:23:57.420 --> 00:23:59.359
although<00:23:57.700><c> some</c><00:23:57.980><c> of</c><00:23:58.099><c> them</c><00:23:58.200><c> may</c><00:23:58.440><c> have</c><00:23:58.680><c> been</c><00:23:58.940><c> brethren,</c>

00:23:59.779 --> 00:24:01.900
the<00:23:59.940><c> majority</c><00:24:00.380><c> of</c><00:24:00.720><c> the</c><00:24:01.039><c> group</c><00:24:01.259><c> of</c><00:24:01.640><c> Jews</c>

00:24:04.220 --> 00:24:04.920
this<00:24:04.460><c> way</c>

00:24:04.920 --> 00:24:06.400
may<00:24:05.220><c> have</c><00:24:05.400><c> actually</c><00:24:05.680><c> been</c><00:24:05.920><c> unbelievers.</c>

00:24:06.440 --> 00:24:08.119
They<00:24:06.619><c> would</c><00:24:06.779><c> have</c><00:24:06.880><c> been</c><00:24:07.039><c> attending</c><00:24:07.259><c> the</c><00:24:07.539><c> synagogues,</c>

00:24:08.119 --> 00:24:10.039
but<00:24:08.259><c> he</c><00:24:08.480><c> really</c><00:24:08.740><c> wouldn't</c><00:24:08.960><c> have</c><00:24:09.180><c> used</c><00:24:09.400><c> the</c><00:24:09.559><c> word</c><00:24:09.740><c> brethren</c>

00:24:10.039 --> 00:24:11.099
about<00:24:10.339><c> them</c>

00:24:11.059 --> 00:24:13.680
because<00:24:11.319><c> they</c><00:24:11.519><c> were</c><00:24:11.859><c> causing</c><00:24:12.200><c> such</c><00:24:12.539><c> trouble</c><00:24:12.880><c> for</c><00:24:13.079><c> the</c><00:24:13.259><c> community</c>

00:24:16.220 --> 00:24:19.000
So<00:24:16.339><c> that's</c><00:24:16.599><c> a</c><00:24:16.680><c> suggestion,</c><00:24:17.180><c> but</c><00:24:17.539><c> it</c><00:24:17.980><c> may</c><00:24:18.119><c> be</c><00:24:18.339><c> possible</c><00:24:18.680><c> that's</c>

00:24:19.000 --> 00:24:20.180
not<00:24:19.140><c> the</c><00:24:19.319><c> case.</c>

00:24:20.500 --> 00:24:22.700

00:24:26.819 --> 00:24:30.119

00:24:52.559 --> 00:24:54.339
And<00:24:52.859><c> we</c><00:24:53.160><c> certainly</c><00:24:53.500><c> know</c><00:24:53.680><c> that</c><00:24:53.880><c> later</c><00:24:54.059><c> on,</c>

00:25:00.440 --> 00:25:03.519
So<00:25:00.839><c> it's</c><00:25:01.359><c> possible</c><00:25:01.859><c> that</c><00:25:02.039><c> that's</c><00:25:02.259><c> what</c><00:25:02.359><c> he's</c><00:25:02.619><c> actually</c><00:25:02.900><c> referring</c><00:25:03.200><c> to</c>

00:28:23.259 --> 00:28:24.539
They<00:28:23.420><c> had</c><00:28:23.480><c> to</c><00:28:23.599><c> wait</c><00:28:23.700><c> for</c><00:28:23.900><c> God</c><00:28:24.079><c> to</c><00:28:24.299><c> bring</c><00:28:24.380><c> it.</c>

00:28:24.539 --> 00:28:25.779
And<00:28:24.619><c> it</c><00:28:24.660><c> was</c><00:28:24.900><c> good</c><00:28:25.099><c> for</c><00:28:25.240><c> them</c><00:28:25.480><c> to</c><00:28:25.700><c> wait.</c>

00:28:26.059 --> 00:28:28.000
They<00:28:26.059><c> learned</c><00:28:26.380><c> patience</c><00:28:26.900><c> in</c><00:28:27.220><c> waiting</c><00:28:27.380><c> for</c><00:28:27.640><c> God,</c>

00:28:28.279 --> 00:28:30.140
and<00:28:28.420><c> he</c><00:28:28.640><c> will</c><00:28:28.880><c> bring</c><00:28:29.039><c> it</c><00:28:29.319><c> in</c><00:28:29.420><c> his</c><00:28:29.579><c> own</c><00:28:29.839><c> time.</c>

00:28:30.460 --> 00:28:32.640
And<00:28:30.579><c> the</c><00:28:30.819><c> early</c><00:28:31.099><c> rains</c><00:28:31.380><c> would</c><00:28:31.599><c> germinate</c><00:28:31.980><c> the</c><00:28:32.319><c> seeds,</c>

00:28:32.759 --> 00:28:35.240
and<00:28:32.920><c> then</c><00:28:33.160><c> the</c><00:28:33.279><c> latter</c><00:28:33.519><c> rains</c><00:28:33.839><c> would</c><00:28:34.099><c> finally</c><00:28:34.380><c> mature</c><00:28:34.759><c> the</c><00:28:35.039><c> fruit.</c>

00:28:35.579 --> 00:28:37.640
So<00:28:35.799><c> the</c><00:28:36.259><c> farmers</c><00:28:36.640><c> were</c><00:28:36.900><c> very</c><00:28:37.180><c> good</c><00:28:37.279><c> at</c><00:28:37.460><c> this.</c>

00:28:37.720 --> 00:28:40.019
They<00:28:37.900><c> waited</c><00:28:38.160><c> through</c><00:28:38.460><c> their</c><00:28:38.680><c> days,</c><00:28:38.920><c> sometimes</c><00:28:39.380><c> stressed</c><00:28:39.779><c> out,</c>

00:28:43.240 --> 00:28:46.279
And<00:28:43.460><c> so</c><00:28:43.619><c> in</c><00:28:43.819><c> verse</c><00:28:44.039><c> 8,</c><00:28:44.779><c> you</c><00:28:44.779><c> also</c><00:28:45.480><c> be</c><00:28:45.859><c> patient.</c>

at<00:28:49.359><c> hand.</c>

00:28:49.920 --> 00:28:51.440
It's<00:28:50.259><c> like</c><00:28:50.400><c> we</c><00:28:50.579><c> heard</c><00:28:50.779><c> last</c><00:28:51.200><c> night.</c>

00:28:51.480 --> 00:28:53.700
We've<00:28:51.779><c> got</c><00:28:51.859><c> to</c><00:28:52.000><c> be</c><00:28:52.240><c> consistent,</c><00:28:53.180><c> steadfast.</c>

00:28:53.700 --> 00:28:56.980
We've<00:28:54.000><c> got</c><00:28:54.099><c> to</c><00:28:54.319><c> endure</c><00:28:54.839><c> because</c><00:28:55.579><c> the</c><00:28:55.900><c> coming</c><00:28:56.099><c> of</c><00:28:56.339><c> the</c><00:28:56.519><c> Lord</c><00:28:56.700><c> is</c>

at<00:28:57.259><c> hand.</c>

00:28:57.519 --> 00:28:58.880
And<00:28:57.700><c> we're</c><00:28:57.839><c> not</c><00:28:58.039><c> that</c><00:28:58.299><c> far</c><00:28:58.539><c> off.</c>

00:28:59.180 --> 00:29:03.200
And<00:28:59.440><c> so</c><00:28:59.700><c> patiently</c><00:29:00.420><c> wait,</c><00:29:01.380><c> wait</c><00:29:01.599><c> in</c><00:29:01.960><c> single</c><00:29:02.319><c>-mindedness,</c>

00:29:03.200 --> 00:29:05.500
believing<00:29:03.819><c> that</c><00:29:04.259><c> God</c><00:29:04.500><c> knows</c><00:29:04.779><c> what</c><00:29:04.920><c> he's</c><00:29:05.240><c> doing.</c>

00:29:05.759 --> 00:29:07.940
He's<00:29:06.160><c> putting</c><00:29:06.359><c> us</c><00:29:06.720><c> through</c><00:29:06.900><c> these</c><00:29:07.140><c> events</c><00:29:07.420><c> of</c><00:29:07.720><c> life,</c>

00:29:08.240 --> 00:29:11.500

00:29:11.559 --> 00:29:14.539

00:29:14.539 --> 00:29:16.500
of<00:29:15.019><c> taking</c><00:29:15.400><c> vengeance</c><00:29:15.819><c> ourself.</c>

00:29:16.960 --> 00:29:19.339
And<00:29:17.380><c> the</c><00:29:17.579><c> vengeance</c><00:29:17.839><c> ourself</c><00:29:18.299><c> today</c><00:29:18.599><c> in</c><00:29:18.759><c> a</c><00:29:18.920><c> collegial</c><00:29:19.119><c> life</c>

00:29:19.339 --> 00:29:20.880
isn't<00:29:19.579><c> so</c><00:29:19.720><c> much</c><00:29:19.779><c> that</c><00:29:19.960><c> we</c><00:29:20.140><c> murder</c><00:29:20.420><c> each</c><00:29:20.680><c> other.</c>

00:29:20.880 --> 00:29:21.920
We<00:29:21.019><c> don't</c><00:29:21.400><c> do</c><00:29:21.700><c> that.</c>

00:29:21.920 --> 00:29:24.140
And<00:29:22.000><c> we</c><00:29:22.099><c> don't</c><00:29:22.339><c> usually</c><00:29:22.660><c> even</c><00:29:22.940><c> have</c><00:29:23.740><c> fights</c>

00:29:24.140 --> 00:29:25.539
where<00:29:24.339><c> people</c><00:29:24.599><c> beat</c><00:29:24.819><c> each</c><00:29:25.039><c> other</c><00:29:25.240><c> up.</c>

00:29:25.859 --> 00:29:29.180
But<00:29:25.980><c> what</c><00:29:26.180><c> ends</c><00:29:26.319><c> up</c><00:29:26.640><c> happening</c><00:29:26.900><c> is</c><00:29:27.180><c> that</c><00:29:27.400><c> we</c><00:29:27.759><c> constantly</c><00:29:28.220><c> judge</c><00:29:28.700><c> one</c><00:29:28.900><c> another.</c>

00:29:29.400 --> 00:29:31.259
We<00:29:29.599><c> verbally</c><00:29:30.059><c> spar</c><00:29:30.440><c> with</c><00:29:30.700><c> one</c><00:29:30.920><c> another.</c>

00:29:31.559 --> 00:29:33.859
And<00:29:31.720><c> that</c><00:29:31.900><c> would</c><00:29:32.039><c> be</c><00:29:32.240><c> the</c><00:29:32.440><c> application</c><00:29:32.920><c> that</c><00:29:33.380><c> I've</c><00:29:33.619><c> at</c><00:29:33.640><c> least</c>

00:29:33.859 --> 00:29:34.420

00:29:34.420 --> 00:29:36.099
that<00:29:34.539><c> we've</c><00:29:34.819><c> got</c><00:29:34.880><c> to</c><00:29:34.980><c> be</c><00:29:35.160><c> careful</c><00:29:35.420><c> of.</c>

00:29:36.180 --> 00:29:38.579
So<00:29:36.319><c> what</c><00:29:36.420><c> he</c><00:29:36.539><c> goes</c><00:29:36.740><c> on</c><00:29:36.980><c> to</c><00:29:37.140><c> then</c><00:29:37.359><c> is,</c><00:29:37.759><c> yes,</c><00:29:37.779><c> look,</c><00:29:37.920><c> verse</c><00:29:38.119><c> 10</c><00:29:38.339><c> there,</c>

00:29:38.680 --> 00:29:41.039
that<00:29:38.880><c> take</c><00:29:39.140><c> my</c><00:29:39.500><c> brethren,</c><00:29:39.940><c> see,</c><00:29:40.039><c> there's</c><00:29:40.259><c> that</c><00:29:40.440><c> phrase</c><00:29:40.619><c> again,</c>

00:29:41.420 --> 00:29:43.740
the<00:29:41.740><c> prophets</c><00:29:42.200><c> who</c><00:29:42.519><c> spoke</c><00:29:42.819><c> in</c><00:29:43.019><c> the</c><00:29:43.140><c> name</c><00:29:43.279><c> of</c><00:29:43.440><c> the</c><00:29:43.599><c> Lord</c>

00:29:43.740 --> 00:29:46.279
as<00:29:43.920><c> an</c><00:29:44.180><c> example</c><00:29:44.519><c> of</c><00:29:44.859><c> suffering</c><00:29:45.119><c> and</c><00:29:45.400><c> patience.</c>

00:29:46.299 --> 00:29:48.359
Look<00:29:46.500><c> at</c><00:29:46.720><c> the</c><00:29:47.039><c> prophets</c><00:29:47.400><c> that</c><00:29:47.640><c> God's</c><00:29:48.000><c> given</c><00:29:48.119><c> us.</c>

00:29:48.579 --> 00:29:51.140
Look<00:29:48.740><c> at</c><00:29:48.859><c> the</c><00:29:49.200><c> examples</c><00:29:49.539><c> he</c><00:29:49.839><c> set</c><00:29:50.019><c> before</c><00:29:50.400><c> us</c><00:29:50.599><c> in</c><00:29:50.740><c> the</c><00:29:50.880><c> Bible.</c>

00:29:51.140 --> 00:29:53.359
So<00:29:51.339><c> here's</c><00:29:51.660><c> his</c><00:29:51.839><c> Bible</c><00:29:52.160><c> evidence</c><00:29:52.500><c> now</c><00:29:52.799><c> that</c><00:29:52.900><c> he's</c><00:29:53.119><c> going</c><00:29:53.240><c> to</c>

00:29:54.980 --> 00:29:56.579
We've<00:29:55.420><c> been</c><00:29:55.500><c> reading</c><00:29:55.759><c> through</c><00:29:56.039><c> Jeremiah.</c>

00:29:56.960 --> 00:29:58.319
What<00:29:57.119><c> does</c><00:29:57.400><c> Jeremiah</c><00:29:57.900><c> say?</c>

00:29:58.460 --> 00:30:00.460
He<00:29:58.660><c> constantly</c><00:29:59.180><c> delivers</c><00:29:59.680><c> God's</c><00:30:00.240><c> message.</c>

00:30:00.480 --> 00:30:01.819
He<00:30:00.640><c> doesn't</c><00:30:00.920><c> want</c><00:30:01.240><c> to</c><00:30:01.460><c> say</c><00:30:01.599><c> it.</c>

00:30:01.900 --> 00:30:05.099
He<00:30:02.019><c> wants</c><00:30:02.279><c> to</c><00:30:02.579><c> hold</c><00:30:02.740><c> it</c><00:30:02.900><c> in</c><00:30:03.079><c> because</c><00:30:03.339><c> it's</c><00:30:03.839><c> so</c><00:30:04.380><c> bad</c><00:30:04.579><c> a</c><00:30:04.839><c> message</c>

00:30:06.380 --> 00:30:09.279
And<00:30:06.460><c> God</c><00:30:06.779><c> spells</c><00:30:07.160><c> out</c><00:30:07.400><c> this</c><00:30:07.700><c> message</c><00:30:08.019><c> of</c><00:30:08.240><c> doom</c><00:30:08.500><c> and</c><00:30:08.720><c> destruction.</c>

00:30:12.660 --> 00:30:15.079
I<00:30:12.680><c> mean,</c><00:30:12.900><c> you</c><00:30:13.119><c> can</c><00:30:13.279><c> look</c><00:30:13.420><c> at</c><00:30:13.539><c> one</c><00:30:13.799><c> prophet</c><00:30:14.140><c> after</c><00:30:14.420><c> the</c><00:30:14.640><c> next,</c>

00:30:15.339 --> 00:30:16.779
Micaiah,<00:30:15.779><c> when</c><00:30:15.900><c> he</c><00:30:16.099><c> walks</c><00:30:16.359><c> in.</c>

00:30:17.019 --> 00:30:19.680
And<00:30:17.140><c> he</c><00:30:17.240><c> says,</c><00:30:17.460><c> oh,</c><00:30:17.779><c> yeah,</c><00:30:18.039><c> sure,</c><00:30:18.259><c> go</c><00:30:18.460><c> out</c><00:30:18.579><c> to</c><00:30:18.779><c> fight</c><00:30:18.940><c> the</c><00:30:19.180><c> war</c><00:30:19.400><c> again.</c>

00:30:23.720 --> 00:30:24.579
And<00:30:23.819><c> he</c><00:30:23.980><c> tells</c><00:30:24.180><c> the</c><00:30:24.440><c> truth.</c>

00:30:24.700 --> 00:30:27.019
I<00:30:24.720><c> saw</c><00:30:24.960><c> all</c><00:30:25.099><c> Israel</c><00:30:25.380><c> scattered</c><00:30:25.799><c> like</c><00:30:26.140><c> sheep</c><00:30:26.319><c> on</c><00:30:26.480><c> the</c><00:30:26.660><c> mountains.</c>

00:30:27.460 --> 00:30:29.160
And<00:30:27.680><c> then</c><00:30:27.859><c> Ahab</c><00:30:28.000><c> said,</c><00:30:28.160><c> well,</c><00:30:28.480><c> take</c><00:30:28.539><c> him</c><00:30:28.700><c> back</c><00:30:28.839><c> and</c><00:30:28.980><c> put</c><00:30:29.059><c> him</c>

00:30:30.720 --> 00:30:33.539
That's<00:30:31.160><c> what</c><00:30:31.279><c> he</c><00:30:31.480><c> did</c><00:30:31.779><c> because</c><00:30:32.539><c> he</c><00:30:32.839><c> spoke</c><00:30:33.039><c> the</c><00:30:33.319><c> truth.</c>

00:30:33.960 --> 00:30:37.259
But<00:30:34.140><c> these</c><00:30:34.880><c> prophets</c><00:30:35.380><c> had</c><00:30:35.660><c> to</c><00:30:36.079><c> patiently</c><00:30:36.740><c> wait,</c>

00:30:37.519 --> 00:30:39.940
wait<00:30:37.960><c> until</c><00:30:38.339><c> God</c><00:30:38.700><c> would</c><00:30:38.940><c> vindicate</c><00:30:39.319><c> their</c><00:30:39.519><c> message.</c>

00:30:40.180 --> 00:30:42.480
And<00:30:40.519><c> many</c><00:30:40.779><c> times</c><00:30:41.059><c> in</c><00:30:41.279><c> our</c><00:30:41.460><c> lives,</c><00:30:41.880><c> brothers</c><00:30:41.980><c> and</c><00:30:42.220><c> sisters,</c>

the<00:30:45.200><c> same</c><00:30:45.380><c> thing.</c>

00:30:45.799 --> 00:30:48.960
And<00:30:46.019><c> even</c><00:30:46.359><c> though</c><00:30:46.579><c> other</c><00:30:46.759><c> people</c><00:30:47.059><c> were</c><00:30:47.599><c> blaming</c><00:30:48.019><c> all</c><00:30:48.319><c> the</c><00:30:48.559><c> prophets</c><00:30:48.779><c> for</c>

00:30:48.960 --> 00:30:49.480
their<00:30:49.140><c> troubles,</c>

00:30:49.480 --> 00:30:51.640
and<00:30:49.700><c> you</c><00:30:49.859><c> see</c><00:30:50.000><c> that</c><00:30:50.160><c> with</c><00:30:50.339><c> Jeremiah,</c><00:30:50.779><c> they</c><00:30:50.960><c> just</c><00:30:51.259><c> constantly</c>

00:30:51.640 --> 00:30:52.920
blamed<00:30:51.980><c> him</c><00:30:52.200><c> for</c><00:30:52.339><c> their</c><00:30:52.579><c> problems</c>

00:30:52.920 --> 00:30:55.599
and<00:30:53.099><c> didn't</c><00:30:53.319><c> realize</c><00:30:53.680><c> that</c><00:30:53.859><c> they</c><00:30:54.039><c> were</c><00:30:54.200><c> the</c><00:30:54.359><c> problem</c><00:30:54.599><c> themselves.</c>

00:30:55.799 --> 00:30:59.019
So<00:30:55.980><c> then</c><00:30:56.119><c> he</c><00:30:56.180><c> goes</c><00:30:56.339><c> on</c><00:30:56.599><c> and</c><00:30:56.720><c> says,</c><00:30:57.119><c> all</c><00:30:57.220><c> right,</c><00:30:57.599><c> in</c><00:30:57.859><c> our</c><00:30:58.140><c> patience</c><00:30:58.559><c> and</c><00:30:58.859><c> in</c>

00:30:59.019 --> 00:30:59.579
our<00:30:59.259><c> suffering,</c>

00:30:59.819 --> 00:31:00.880
we've<00:31:00.200><c> got</c><00:31:00.259><c> to</c><00:31:00.339><c> have</c><00:31:00.480><c> endurance.</c>

00:31:01.319 --> 00:31:04.180
We<00:31:01.579><c> need</c><00:31:01.839><c> to</c><00:31:02.019><c> have</c><00:31:02.140><c> that</c><00:31:02.359><c> endurance,</c><00:31:03.099><c> as</c><00:31:03.220><c> we</c><00:31:03.420><c> heard</c><00:31:03.539><c> last</c><00:31:03.920><c> night.</c>

00:31:04.539 --> 00:31:08.079
So<00:31:04.740><c> indeed,</c><00:31:05.200><c> we</c><00:31:05.400><c> count</c><00:31:05.640><c> them</c><00:31:06.000><c> blessed</c><00:31:06.619><c> who</c><00:31:07.079><c> endure.</c>

So<00:31:08.339><c> God</c><00:31:08.640><c> sets</c><00:31:08.980><c> up</c><00:31:09.259><c> these</c><00:31:09.440><c> situations.</c>

00:31:10.359 --> 00:31:12.480
God<00:31:10.839><c> puts</c><00:31:11.220><c> these</c><00:31:11.519><c> situations</c><00:31:12.039><c> into</c><00:31:12.259><c> our</c><00:31:12.400><c> life.</c>

00:31:12.539 --> 00:31:14.440
The<00:31:12.839><c> angels</c><00:31:13.019><c> are</c><00:31:13.319><c> controlling</c><00:31:13.640><c> all</c><00:31:13.940><c> of</c><00:31:14.119><c> this,</c>

00:33:56.880 --> 00:33:59.779
I<00:33:57.019><c> mean,</c><00:33:57.099><c> that's</c><00:33:57.299><c> very</c><00:33:57.579><c> similar</c><00:33:57.940><c> to</c><00:33:58.019><c> what</c><00:33:58.140><c> you</c><00:33:58.380><c> find</c><00:33:58.660><c> Jesus</c><00:33:59.140><c> saying</c><00:33:59.500><c> in</c>

00:34:00.920 --> 00:34:03.359
I'm<00:34:01.140><c> sure</c><00:34:01.319><c> James</c><00:34:01.700><c> would</c><00:34:01.880><c> have</c><00:34:02.079><c> heard</c><00:34:02.259><c> Jesus</c><00:34:02.640><c> talk</c><00:34:02.920><c> about</c><00:34:03.140><c> this</c>

00:34:05.180 --> 00:34:08.179
Because<00:34:05.500><c> this</c><00:34:05.720><c> was</c><00:34:05.940><c> a</c><00:34:06.079><c> very</c><00:34:06.519><c> common</c><00:34:06.880><c> thing</c><00:34:07.220><c> amongst</c><00:34:07.539><c> the</c><00:34:07.880><c> Jews</c>

00:34:12.800 --> 00:34:14.960
You<00:34:12.900><c> see</c><00:34:13.119><c> this</c><00:34:13.280><c> sometimes</c><00:34:13.760><c> even</c><00:34:14.019><c> in</c><00:34:14.179><c> the</c><00:34:14.260><c> Old</c><00:34:14.440><c> Testament</c><00:34:14.760><c> as</c>

they're<00:34:15.119><c> reading</c><00:34:15.320><c> through,</c>

00:34:15.880 --> 00:34:18.579
where<00:34:16.000><c> somebody</c><00:34:16.340><c> will</c><00:34:16.880><c> rattle</c><00:34:17.139><c> off</c><00:34:17.360><c> an</c><00:34:17.500><c> oath</c><00:34:17.599><c> just</c><00:34:17.860><c> like</c><00:34:18.079><c> this.</c>

00:34:18.719 --> 00:34:21.280
In<00:34:18.840><c> fact,</c><00:34:18.920><c> it</c><00:34:19.079><c> just</c><00:34:19.280><c> came</c><00:34:19.500><c> up</c><00:34:19.780><c> where</c><00:34:20.420><c> Solomon</c><00:34:20.840><c> said</c><00:34:21.099><c> that,</c>

00:34:21.320 --> 00:34:23.639
I<00:34:21.519><c> swear</c><00:34:21.840><c> that</c><00:34:22.099><c> you're</c><00:34:22.519><c> going</c><00:34:22.619><c> to</c><00:34:22.719><c> be</c><00:34:22.920><c> done.</c>

00:34:23.699 --> 00:34:25.199
That's<00:34:24.039><c> what</c><00:34:24.260><c> happens.</c>

00:34:25.340 --> 00:34:29.119
That<00:34:25.539><c> was</c><00:34:25.800><c> maybe</c><00:34:26.280><c> more</c><00:34:26.539><c> of</c><00:34:26.760><c> a</c><00:34:26.800><c> Jewish</c><00:34:27.280><c> tendency</c><00:34:27.800><c> than</c><00:34:28.360><c> we</c><00:34:28.639><c> have</c><00:34:28.780><c> today.</c>

00:34:29.199 --> 00:34:33.179
But<00:34:29.340><c> it</c><00:34:29.400><c> was</c><00:34:29.599><c> a</c><00:34:29.719><c> common</c><00:34:30.000><c> Jewish</c><00:34:30.340><c> practice</c><00:34:30.880><c> in</c><00:34:31.159><c> the</c><00:34:31.280><c> midst</c><00:34:31.440><c> of</c><00:34:32.039><c> something</c><00:34:32.340><c> to</c><00:34:32.659><c> make</c><00:34:32.880><c> a</c>

00:34:35.400 --> 00:34:38.780
Now,<00:34:36.179><c> what</c><00:34:36.360><c> they</c><00:34:36.519><c> would</c><00:34:36.699><c> do,</c><00:34:36.880><c> they</c><00:34:37.000><c> wouldn't</c><00:34:37.360><c> swear</c><00:34:37.559><c> by</c><00:34:37.880><c> Yahweh,</c><00:34:38.400><c> you</c><00:34:38.539><c> see.</c>

00:34:38.880 --> 00:34:41.179
What<00:34:39.079><c> they</c><00:34:39.239><c> would</c><00:34:39.440><c> do,</c><00:34:39.599><c> they</c><00:34:39.679><c> would</c><00:34:39.980><c> swear</c><00:34:40.179><c> by</c><00:34:40.440><c> something</c><00:34:40.780><c> else.</c>

00:34:41.320 --> 00:34:44.880
They'd<00:34:41.619><c> swear</c><00:34:41.719><c> by</c><00:34:41.960><c> the</c><00:34:42.159><c> temple</c><00:34:42.500><c> or</c><00:34:43.019><c> they'd</c><00:34:43.519><c> swear</c><00:34:43.659><c> by</c><00:34:44.059><c> the</c><00:34:44.440><c> goal</c><00:34:44.699><c> of</c>

00:34:45.820 --> 00:34:48.599
They'd<00:34:46.219><c> swear</c><00:34:46.340><c> by</c><00:34:47.000><c> something</c><00:34:47.440><c> like</c><00:34:47.679><c> they'd</c><00:34:48.039><c> swear</c><00:34:48.119><c> by</c><00:34:48.400><c> heaven</c>

00:34:48.599 --> 00:34:50.079
or<00:34:48.760><c> they'd</c><00:34:49.159><c> swear</c><00:34:49.300><c> by</c><00:34:49.639><c> earth.</c>

00:34:50.340 --> 00:34:52.960
And<00:34:50.619><c> by</c><00:34:50.800><c> not</c><00:34:51.099><c> using</c><00:34:51.360><c> the</c><00:34:51.559><c> name</c><00:34:51.699><c> of</c><00:34:52.039><c> Yahweh,</c><00:34:52.420><c> they</c><00:34:52.559><c> would</c><00:34:52.780><c> think,</c>

00:34:53.260 --> 00:34:55.280
well,<00:34:53.280><c> in</c><00:34:53.500><c> the</c><00:34:53.619><c> end,</c><00:34:53.780><c> you</c><00:34:53.880><c> see,</c><00:34:53.980><c> if</c><00:34:54.099><c> I</c><00:34:54.219><c> really</c><00:34:54.380><c> don't</c><00:34:54.579><c> keep</c><00:34:54.820><c> the</c><00:34:55.079><c> oath,</c>

00:34:55.539 --> 00:34:57.619
it<00:34:55.659><c> really</c><00:34:55.880><c> doesn't</c><00:34:56.119><c> matter</c><00:34:56.440><c> because</c><00:34:56.579><c> I</c><00:34:56.780><c> never</c><00:34:56.940><c> really</c><00:34:57.360><c> swore</c>

00:34:57.619 --> 00:34:58.619
to<00:34:57.860><c> Yahweh</c><00:34:58.179><c> anyways.</c>

00:34:58.739 --> 00:35:01.300
And<00:34:58.960><c> they'd</c><00:34:59.199><c> try</c><00:34:59.300><c> to</c><00:34:59.539><c> weasel</c><00:34:59.860><c> out</c><00:35:00.079><c> of</c><00:35:00.219><c> the</c><00:35:00.420><c> fact</c><00:35:00.539><c> and</c><00:35:00.699><c> give</c><00:35:00.820><c> themselves</c><00:35:01.159><c> a</c>

00:35:02.119 --> 00:35:05.340
So<00:35:02.699><c> this</c><00:35:03.139><c> evidently</c><00:35:03.719><c> was</c><00:35:03.880><c> a</c><00:35:04.099><c> common</c><00:35:04.280><c> practice</c><00:35:04.719><c> back</c><00:35:04.980><c> at</c><00:35:05.159><c> this</c>

00:35:05.340 --> 00:35:08.380
time<00:35:05.539><c> because</c><00:35:05.880><c> Jesus</c><00:35:06.320><c> and</c><00:35:06.760><c> James</c><00:35:07.159><c> both</c><00:35:07.519><c> have</c><00:35:07.719><c> to</c><00:35:07.960><c> say</c><00:35:08.099><c> it.</c>

00:35:08.539 --> 00:35:10.739
And<00:35:08.719><c> when</c><00:35:08.880><c> do</c><00:35:09.039><c> you</c><00:35:09.079><c> do</c><00:35:09.239><c> it?</c><00:35:09.480><c> You</c><00:35:09.659><c> do</c><00:35:09.800><c> it</c><00:35:09.920><c> when</c><00:35:09.960><c> you're</c><00:35:10.079><c> under</c><00:35:10.300><c> fire.</c>

00:35:11.099 --> 00:35:13.739
When<00:35:11.219><c> you're</c><00:35:11.380><c> under</c><00:35:11.500><c> fire,</c><00:35:11.699><c> when</c><00:35:11.820><c> your</c><00:35:12.039><c> mouth</c><00:35:12.219><c> just</c><00:35:12.539><c> like</c><00:35:12.840><c> blurt</c><00:35:13.039><c> something</c><00:35:13.460><c> out</c>

00:35:13.739 --> 00:35:14.780
that<00:35:13.860><c> we</c><00:35:14.019><c> never</c><00:35:14.280><c> should</c><00:35:14.440><c> do.</c>

00:35:15.139 --> 00:35:18.360
And<00:35:15.360><c> so</c><00:35:15.500><c> this</c><00:35:15.719><c> is</c><00:35:16.059><c> another</c><00:35:16.260><c> example</c><00:35:16.800><c> of</c><00:35:17.000><c> how</c><00:35:17.340><c> when</c><00:35:17.599><c> we're</c><00:35:17.980><c> stressed,</c>

00:35:30.119 --> 00:35:31.139
that's<00:35:30.500><c> what</c><00:35:30.599><c> we're</c><00:35:30.679><c> going</c><00:35:30.760><c> to</c><00:35:30.920><c> do.</c>

00:35:36.000 --> 00:35:39.059
That's<00:35:36.380><c> the</c><00:35:36.619><c> safest</c><00:35:36.820><c> way</c><00:35:37.159><c> because</c><00:35:37.800><c> anything</c><00:35:38.340><c> more</c><00:35:38.659><c> than</c><00:35:38.840><c> that</c>

00:35:39.059 --> 00:35:40.300
is<00:35:39.239><c> just</c><00:35:39.480><c> going</c><00:35:39.619><c> to</c><00:35:39.719><c> be</c><00:35:39.900><c> of</c><00:35:40.039><c> evil.</c>

00:35:40.760 --> 00:35:43.699
And<00:35:40.940><c> we</c><00:35:41.119><c> know</c><00:35:41.300><c> that</c><00:35:41.519><c> God</c><00:35:41.659><c> does</c><00:35:41.960><c> hold</c><00:35:42.119><c> us</c><00:35:42.340><c> accountable</c><00:35:42.719><c> for</c><00:35:42.980><c> our</c><00:35:43.159><c> oaths.</c>

00:35:43.900 --> 00:35:45.480
You<00:35:43.900><c> know,</c><00:35:43.900><c> whether</c><00:35:44.039><c> we,</c><00:35:44.300><c> you</c><00:35:44.539><c> know,</c><00:35:44.539><c> it's</c><00:35:44.780><c> not</c><00:35:44.980><c> necessarily</c>

00:35:45.480 --> 00:35:46.719
you<00:35:45.659><c> just</c><00:35:45.940><c> swear</c><00:35:46.119><c> by</c><00:35:46.420><c> Yahweh.</c>

00:35:46.780 --> 00:35:49.260
But<00:35:46.880><c> when</c><00:35:47.039><c> you</c><00:35:47.199><c> make</c><00:35:47.360><c> an</c><00:35:47.480><c> oath</c><00:35:47.599><c> and</c><00:35:47.719><c> a</c><00:35:47.960><c> promise</c><00:35:48.139><c> to</c><00:35:48.320><c> God,</c><00:35:48.559><c> He</c><00:35:48.800><c> expects</c><00:35:49.039><c> us</c>

00:35:49.260 --> 00:35:49.900
to<00:35:49.440><c> keep</c><00:35:49.539><c> it.</c>

00:35:50.159 --> 00:35:52.420
I'm<00:35:50.380><c> surprised</c><00:35:50.699><c> to</c><00:35:50.960><c> find</c><00:35:51.079><c> that</c><00:35:51.260><c> back</c><00:35:51.440><c> in</c><00:35:51.639><c> Ezekiel</c><00:35:51.940><c> 17,</c>

00:35:52.460 --> 00:35:55.340
that's<00:35:52.699><c> actually</c><00:35:52.980><c> one</c><00:35:53.119><c> of</c><00:35:53.239><c> the</c><00:35:53.360><c> reasons</c><00:35:53.719><c> for</c><00:35:54.000><c> Zedekiah's</c><00:35:54.699><c> downfall</c><00:35:55.159><c> in</c>

00:35:55.340 --> 00:35:55.659
the<00:35:55.400><c> end.</c>

00:35:56.059 --> 00:35:59.179
Evidently,<00:35:56.719><c> probably</c><00:35:56.960><c> because</c><00:35:57.320><c> Jeremiah</c><00:35:57.820><c> was</c><00:35:58.079><c> working</c><00:35:58.440><c> with</c>

00:35:59.179 --> 00:36:00.539
Nebuchadnezzar<00:35:59.880><c> at</c><00:36:00.059><c> the</c><00:36:00.219><c> time.</c>

00:36:00.539 --> 00:36:03.440
When<00:36:01.019><c> Nebuchadnezzar</c><00:36:01.760><c> came</c><00:36:02.019><c> in</c><00:36:02.340><c> and</c><00:36:02.420><c> took</c><00:36:02.619><c> care</c><00:36:02.840><c> of</c><00:36:03.000><c> Zedekiah</c>

00:36:03.440 --> 00:36:04.519
earlier<00:36:03.880><c> in</c><00:36:04.000><c> his</c><00:36:04.280><c> reign,</c>

00:36:04.960 --> 00:36:09.199
he<00:36:05.159><c> made</c><00:36:05.599><c> Zedekiah</c><00:36:06.400><c> swear</c><00:36:06.880><c> by</c><00:36:07.300><c> Yahweh</c><00:36:07.679><c> that</c><00:36:07.820><c> he</c><00:36:07.900><c> would</c><00:36:08.119><c> not</c><00:36:08.300><c> rebel.</c>

00:36:09.300 --> 00:36:11.639
And<00:36:09.380><c> that's</c><00:36:09.780><c> interesting</c><00:36:10.179><c> that</c><00:36:10.440><c> a</c><00:36:10.639><c> foreign</c><00:36:10.840><c> king</c><00:36:11.079><c> would</c><00:36:11.260><c> do</c><00:36:11.440><c> that.</c>

00:36:11.659 --> 00:36:13.860
But<00:36:11.820><c> it</c><00:36:12.000><c> gives</c><00:36:12.139><c> you</c><00:36:12.300><c> a</c><00:36:12.360><c> bit</c><00:36:12.460><c> of</c><00:36:12.579><c> an</c><00:36:12.780><c> impression</c><00:36:13.099><c> of</c><00:36:13.300><c> what</c><00:36:13.480><c> an</c>

00:36:13.860 --> 00:36:16.360
influence<00:36:14.219><c> Jeremiah</c><00:36:14.719><c> was</c><00:36:14.940><c> actually</c><00:36:15.260><c> having</c><00:36:15.559><c> back</c><00:36:15.880><c> there</c>

00:36:16.360 --> 00:36:19.119
with<00:36:16.760><c> the</c><00:36:17.000><c> foreigners,</c><00:36:17.480><c> even</c><00:36:17.659><c> with</c><00:36:17.880><c> the</c><00:36:18.019><c> foreign</c><00:36:18.219><c> kings.</c>

00:36:19.659 --> 00:36:23.920
So<00:36:20.139><c> when</c><00:36:20.619><c> Nebuchadnezzar</c><00:36:21.380><c> came</c><00:36:21.639><c> in,</c><00:36:21.840><c> he</c><00:36:22.039><c> made</c><00:36:22.420><c> Zedekiah</c><00:36:23.000><c> swear</c><00:36:23.260><c> by</c><00:36:23.480><c> Yahweh.</c>

00:36:24.000 --> 00:36:26.960
And<00:36:24.179><c> in</c><00:36:24.400><c> Ezekiel</c><00:36:24.639><c> 17,</c><00:36:25.300><c> that's</c><00:36:25.599><c> actually</c><00:36:25.920><c> what</c><00:36:26.059><c> he's</c><00:36:26.360><c> uprated</c><00:36:26.599><c> for</c>

00:36:26.960 --> 00:36:30.699
because<00:36:27.460><c> he</c><00:36:27.639><c> had</c><00:36:27.940><c> made</c><00:36:28.320><c> an</c><00:36:28.699><c> oath</c><00:36:28.820><c> before</c><00:36:29.300><c> Yahweh</c><00:36:29.679><c> that</c><00:36:29.840><c> he</c><00:36:29.940><c> would</c><00:36:30.139><c> not</c><00:36:30.320><c> rebel.</c>

00:36:31.059 --> 00:36:31.900
And<00:36:31.239><c> in</c><00:36:31.360><c> the</c><00:36:31.420><c> end,</c><00:36:31.639><c> he</c><00:36:31.639><c> did.</c>

00:36:32.059 --> 00:36:35.639
He<00:36:32.440><c> rebelled</c><00:36:32.800><c> at</c><00:36:34.340><c> a</c><00:36:34.440><c> different</c><00:36:34.739><c> point</c><00:36:34.940><c> and</c><00:36:35.099><c> tried</c><00:36:35.260><c> to</c><00:36:35.320><c> get</c><00:36:35.480><c> all</c>

00:36:35.639 --> 00:36:36.780
the<00:36:35.800><c> other</c><00:36:35.980><c> nations</c><00:36:36.320><c> together</c>

00:36:36.780 --> 00:36:39.000
and<00:36:36.940><c> tried</c><00:36:37.119><c> to</c><00:36:37.260><c> get</c><00:36:37.360><c> that</c><00:36:37.719><c> joint</c><00:36:37.940><c> rebellion</c><00:36:38.440><c> organized,</c>

00:36:39.019 --> 00:36:41.119
which<00:36:39.219><c> we're</c><00:36:39.420><c> reading</c><00:36:39.699><c> about</c><00:36:40.119><c> in</c><00:36:40.420><c> some</c><00:36:40.579><c> of</c><00:36:40.659><c> those</c><00:36:40.860><c> chapters</c>

00:36:41.119 --> 00:36:42.179
in<00:36:41.320><c> Jeremiah.</c>

00:36:42.880 --> 00:36:45.079
You<00:36:42.900><c> know,</c><00:36:43.559><c> some</c><00:36:43.760><c> of</c><00:36:43.860><c> these</c><00:36:44.059><c> oaths,</c><00:36:44.320><c> what</c><00:36:44.480><c> ends</c><00:36:44.639><c> up</c><00:36:44.900><c> happening</c>

00:36:45.079 --> 00:36:47.079
is<00:36:45.219><c> they're</c><00:36:45.400><c> actually</c><00:36:45.719><c> made</c><00:36:45.940><c> during</c><00:36:46.179><c> a</c><00:36:46.380><c> time</c><00:36:46.500><c> of</c><00:36:46.780><c> pride.</c>

00:36:47.340 --> 00:36:49.599
And<00:36:47.539><c> we</c><00:36:47.639><c> end</c><00:36:47.820><c> up</c><00:36:48.019><c> calling</c><00:36:48.300><c> God</c><00:36:48.579><c> to</c><00:36:48.739><c> be</c><00:36:48.820><c> on</c><00:36:48.980><c> our</c><00:36:49.219><c> side</c><00:36:49.420><c> because</c>

00:36:49.599 --> 00:36:50.219
we<00:36:49.800><c> think,</c><00:36:49.940><c> you</c><00:36:50.059><c> know,</c>

00:36:50.300 --> 00:36:52.659
that<00:36:50.400><c> way</c><00:36:50.599><c> we'll</c><00:36:50.980><c> make</c><00:36:51.199><c> God</c><00:36:51.440><c> on</c><00:36:51.619><c> our</c><00:36:51.860><c> side</c><00:36:52.019><c> and</c><00:36:52.119><c> it'll</c><00:36:52.300><c> make</c><00:36:52.400><c> us</c>

00:36:52.659 --> 00:36:53.079
feel<00:36:52.820><c> better.</c>

00:36:53.079 --> 00:36:55.599
But<00:36:53.199><c> again,</c><00:36:53.639><c> it's</c><00:36:53.900><c> all</c><00:36:54.079><c> linked</c><00:36:54.280><c> in</c><00:36:54.440><c> with</c><00:36:54.599><c> this</c><00:36:54.800><c> issue</c><00:36:55.000><c> of</c><00:36:55.260><c> pride</c><00:36:55.440><c> that</c>

00:36:55.599 --> 00:36:57.239
we<00:36:55.739><c> have</c><00:36:55.920><c> that</c><00:36:56.719><c> we</c><00:36:56.900><c> have.</c>

00:36:57.480 --> 00:37:00.000
And<00:36:57.619><c> our</c><00:36:57.800><c> problem</c><00:36:58.079><c> is</c><00:36:58.340><c> that</c><00:36:58.480><c> we're</c><00:36:58.639><c> weak</c><00:36:58.860><c> and</c><00:36:59.019><c> we</c><00:36:59.139><c> really</c><00:36:59.340><c> can't</c><00:36:59.639><c> keep</c><00:36:59.840><c> them.</c>

00:37:00.019 --> 00:37:03.500
So<00:37:00.320><c> our</c><00:37:00.599><c> best</c><00:37:00.880><c> bet</c><00:37:01.059><c> is</c><00:37:01.280><c> to</c><00:37:01.440><c> just</c><00:37:01.659><c> say</c><00:37:02.000><c> yes</c><00:37:02.420><c> and</c><00:37:02.780><c> no</c><00:37:03.099><c> and</c><00:37:03.380><c> leave</c>

00:37:03.500 --> 00:37:04.059
it<00:37:03.619><c> at</c><00:37:03.800><c> that</c>

00:37:04.059 --> 00:37:07.119
and<00:37:04.519><c> trust</c><00:37:04.780><c> that</c><00:37:05.019><c> God</c><00:37:05.179><c> will</c><00:37:05.400><c> work</c><00:37:05.559><c> those</c><00:37:05.820><c> things</c><00:37:06.059><c> out.</c>

00:37:07.179 --> 00:37:09.360
Now,<00:37:07.659><c> the</c><00:37:07.860><c> last</c><00:37:08.099><c> couple</c><00:37:08.320><c> of</c><00:37:08.500><c> sections</c><00:37:08.699><c> here,</c><00:37:08.920><c> there's</c><00:37:09.119><c> just</c>

00:37:09.360 --> 00:37:11.239
this<00:37:09.739><c> last</c><00:37:09.960><c> section</c><00:37:10.260><c> 13</c><00:37:10.719><c> to</c><00:37:10.860><c> 18</c>

00:37:11.239 --> 00:37:13.420
and<00:37:11.460><c> then</c><00:37:11.679><c> the</c><00:37:11.780><c> one</c><00:37:11.860><c> from</c><00:37:12.019><c> 19</c><00:37:12.340><c> to</c><00:37:12.539><c> 20</c><00:37:12.800><c> I'm</c><00:37:12.960><c> going</c><00:37:13.039><c> to</c><00:37:13.039><c> look</c><00:37:13.239><c> at.</c>

00:37:13.440 --> 00:37:15.139
Hopefully<00:37:13.679><c> we'll</c><00:37:14.000><c> finish</c><00:37:14.239><c> up</c><00:37:14.400><c> on</c><00:37:14.639><c> time</c><00:37:14.780><c> here.</c>

00:37:15.639 --> 00:37:19.199
So<00:37:16.019><c> he</c><00:37:16.219><c> then</c><00:37:16.440><c> goes</c><00:37:16.659><c> on</c><00:37:16.820><c> to</c><00:37:16.940><c> say,</c><00:37:17.179><c> all</c><00:37:17.400><c> right,</c><00:37:17.679><c> here's</c><00:37:18.139><c> an</c><00:37:18.460><c> example</c><00:37:18.800><c> of</c><00:37:19.000><c> a</c>

00:37:19.199 --> 00:37:21.079

These<00:43:08.440><c> people</c><00:43:08.900><c> that</c><00:43:09.380><c> prayed,</c><00:43:09.920><c> prayed</c><00:43:10.300><c> for</c><00:43:10.800><c> others.</c>

00:43:11.500 --> 00:43:13.780
They<00:43:11.820><c> prayed</c><00:43:12.300><c> for</c><00:43:12.780><c> the</c><00:43:12.960><c> healing</c><00:43:13.280><c> of</c><00:43:13.559><c> others.</c>

00:43:14.099 --> 00:43:16.460
Look<00:43:14.239><c> at</c><00:43:14.420><c> Abraham's</c><00:43:15.000><c> request</c><00:43:15.480><c> to</c><00:43:15.739><c> save</c><00:43:16.059><c> Sodom</c>

and<00:43:16.579><c> how</c><00:43:16.760><c> much</c><00:43:16.900><c> he</c><00:43:17.179><c> cared</c><00:43:17.320><c> for</c><00:43:17.519><c> his</c><00:43:17.800><c> family</c><00:43:18.059><c> members</c>

their<00:43:23.739><c> sins.</c>

00:43:27.639 --> 00:43:28.940
probably<00:43:27.960><c> because</c><00:43:28.280><c> he</c><00:43:28.420><c> was</c><00:43:28.639><c> hoping</c>

00:43:28.940 --> 00:43:30.940
that<00:43:29.179><c> he</c><00:43:29.260><c> could</c><00:43:29.420><c> help</c><00:43:29.659><c> the</c><00:43:29.840><c> community</c><00:43:30.239><c> at</c><00:43:30.460><c> that</c><00:43:30.659><c> time</c>

not<00:43:31.400><c> just</c><00:43:31.619><c> so</c><00:43:31.800><c> that</c><00:43:31.940><c> he</c><00:43:32.079><c> could</c><00:43:32.559><c> continue</c><00:43:33.219><c> on</c><00:43:33.420><c> his</c><00:43:33.599><c> life.</c>

00:43:34.280 --> 00:43:36.440
Or<00:43:34.460><c> last</c><00:43:34.739><c> night</c><00:43:34.860><c> as</c><00:43:35.019><c> we</c><00:43:35.159><c> looked</c><00:43:35.320><c> at</c><00:43:35.579><c> in</c><00:43:35.800><c> Luke</c><00:43:35.980><c> 18</c>

00:43:36.440 --> 00:43:38.920
that<00:43:36.860><c> parable</c><00:43:37.280><c> of</c><00:43:37.460><c> the</c><00:43:37.659><c> persistent</c><00:43:38.019><c> woman</c>

00:43:39.000 --> 00:43:41.820
that<00:43:39.559><c> woman</c><00:43:39.800><c> who</c><00:43:40.039><c> keeps</c><00:43:40.219><c> coming</c><00:43:40.579><c> and</c><00:43:40.860><c> coming</c><00:43:41.139><c> and</c><00:43:41.460><c> coming</c>

00:43:41.820 --> 00:43:43.739
as<00:43:42.340><c> brother</c><00:43:42.679><c> Jim</c><00:43:42.900><c> pointed</c><00:43:43.179><c> out</c>

00:43:43.739 --> 00:43:45.619
and<00:43:44.159><c> God's</c><00:43:44.539><c> looking</c><00:43:44.679><c> for</c><00:43:44.900><c> that</c><00:43:45.079><c> persistence</c>

00:43:45.619 --> 00:43:47.460
that<00:43:45.900><c> we</c><00:43:46.219><c> pray</c><00:43:46.599><c> for</c><00:43:46.960><c> one</c><00:43:47.119><c> another</c>

00:43:47.460 --> 00:43:49.000
that<00:43:48.019><c> we</c><00:43:48.219><c> might</c><00:43:48.440><c> be</c><00:43:48.739><c> healed.</c>

00:43:49.260 --> 00:43:50.800
And<00:43:49.559><c> that's</c><00:43:50.159><c> one</c><00:43:50.280><c> of</c><00:43:50.400><c> the</c><00:43:50.480><c> reasons</c>

00:43:50.800 --> 00:43:53.000
he<00:43:51.039><c> brings</c><00:43:51.320><c> these</c><00:43:51.739><c> problems</c><00:43:52.239><c> into</c><00:43:52.519><c> our</c><00:43:52.760><c> life.</c>

00:43:53.340 --> 00:43:55.760
And<00:43:53.519><c> so</c><00:43:53.679><c> God</c><00:43:53.980><c> has</c><00:43:54.280><c> all</c><00:43:54.619><c> these</c><00:43:54.960><c> different</c><00:43:55.260><c> pathways</c>

00:43:55.760 --> 00:43:58.639
that<00:43:55.980><c> he</c><00:43:56.179><c> could</c><00:43:56.400><c> be</c><00:43:56.699><c> using</c><00:43:57.019><c> in</c><00:43:57.300><c> the</c><00:43:57.420><c> events</c><00:43:57.619><c> of</c><00:43:57.820><c> our</c><00:43:58.000><c> life.</c>

00:43:58.659 --> 00:44:01.699
But<00:43:58.920><c> he</c><00:43:59.400><c> responds</c><00:44:00.159><c> to</c><00:44:00.440><c> the</c><00:44:00.679><c> prayers</c><00:44:01.000><c> of</c><00:44:01.239><c> the</c><00:44:01.420><c> saints.</c>

00:44:02.119 --> 00:44:04.980
And<00:44:02.340><c> so</c><00:44:02.460><c> we</c><00:44:02.579><c> ask</c><00:44:02.860><c> him,</c><00:44:03.079><c> we</c><00:44:03.280><c> talk</c><00:44:03.539><c> to</c><00:44:03.679><c> him</c><00:44:03.920><c> about</c><00:44:04.260><c> which</c><00:44:04.559><c> pathway</c>

00:44:04.980 --> 00:44:06.340
we're<00:44:05.360><c> hoping</c><00:44:05.679><c> he</c><00:44:05.880><c> will</c><00:44:06.079><c> go.</c>

00:44:06.599 --> 00:44:09.920
And<00:44:06.780><c> we</c><00:44:07.039><c> pray</c><00:44:07.380><c> and</c><00:44:07.699><c> hope</c><00:44:07.940><c> that</c><00:44:08.119><c> he</c><00:44:08.260><c> will</c><00:44:08.480><c> choose</c><00:44:08.739><c> that</c><00:44:08.960><c> pathway</c>

00:44:10.039 --> 00:44:12.440
because<00:44:10.559><c> the</c><00:44:11.019><c> prayer</c><00:44:11.239><c> of</c><00:44:11.599><c> a</c><00:44:11.800><c> righteous</c><00:44:12.139><c> man</c>

00:44:12.440 --> 00:44:14.119
has<00:44:12.719><c> great</c><00:44:12.980><c> power</c><00:44:13.400><c> in</c><00:44:13.599><c> its</c><00:44:13.800><c> effects.</c>

00:44:14.619 --> 00:44:17.380
So<00:44:14.780><c> he</c><00:44:14.920><c> gives</c><00:44:15.099><c> up</c><00:44:15.300><c> the</c><00:44:15.559><c> example</c><00:44:15.860><c> of</c><00:44:16.099><c> Elijah</c><00:44:16.320><c> right</c><00:44:16.619><c> there</c>

00:44:17.619 --> 00:44:19.099
and<00:44:18.139><c> what</c><00:44:18.360><c> Elijah</c><00:44:18.739><c> did.</c>

00:44:19.400 --> 00:44:20.960
And<00:44:19.539><c> really</c><00:44:19.699><c> when</c><00:44:19.880><c> he</c><00:44:20.079><c> brings</c><00:44:20.239><c> up</c><00:44:20.519><c> Elijah</c>

00:44:20.960 --> 00:44:22.599
and<00:44:21.280><c> that</c><00:44:21.559><c> prayer</c><00:44:21.719><c> when</c><00:44:21.880><c> he</c><00:44:22.039><c> brings</c><00:44:22.219><c> it</c><00:44:22.440><c> up,</c>

00:44:22.699 --> 00:44:24.559
you<00:44:22.800><c> see</c><00:44:22.960><c> remember</c><00:44:23.340><c> what</c><00:44:23.599><c> was</c><00:44:23.880><c> Elijah</c><00:44:24.219><c> doing?</c>

00:44:24.559 --> 00:44:26.780
He<00:44:25.340><c> prayed</c><00:44:25.900><c> for</c><00:44:26.139><c> the</c><00:44:26.280><c> community.</c>

00:44:27.139 --> 00:44:29.119
We<00:44:27.300><c> can</c><00:44:27.500><c> just</c><00:44:27.780><c> say,</c><00:44:28.119><c> well</c><00:44:28.239><c> this</c><00:44:28.400><c> is</c><00:44:28.539><c> just</c><00:44:28.679><c> an</c><00:44:28.840><c> example</c>

00:44:29.119 --> 00:44:30.039
of<00:44:29.280><c> the</c><00:44:29.420><c> power</c><00:44:29.639><c> of</c><00:44:29.860><c> prayer.</c>

00:44:30.179 --> 00:44:32.280
But<00:44:30.360><c> I</c><00:44:30.440><c> don't</c><00:44:30.619><c> think</c><00:44:30.719><c> that's</c><00:44:30.980><c> why</c><00:44:31.199><c> James</c><00:44:31.480><c> brings</c><00:44:31.760><c> it</c><00:44:31.960><c> up.</c>

00:44:32.679 --> 00:44:35.960
When<00:44:33.039><c> Elijah</c><00:44:33.559><c> prayed</c><00:44:34.099><c> that</c><00:44:34.460><c> God</c><00:44:34.780><c> would</c><00:44:35.099><c> bring</c><00:44:35.420><c> trouble</c>

00:44:35.960 --> 00:44:37.039
on<00:44:36.360><c> the</c><00:44:36.639><c> community.</c>

00:44:37.300 --> 00:44:38.199
Don't<00:44:37.440><c> give</c><00:44:37.539><c> him</c><00:44:37.659><c> any</c><00:44:37.880><c> rain.</c>

00:44:38.519 --> 00:44:40.320
Three<00:44:38.760><c> and</c><00:44:38.880><c> a</c><00:44:38.980><c> half</c><00:44:39.019><c> years</c><00:44:39.260><c> he</c><00:44:39.460><c> prayed.</c>

00:44:40.420 --> 00:44:41.659
What<00:44:40.760><c> was</c><00:44:41.119><c> the</c><00:44:41.340><c> goal?</c>

00:44:42.159 --> 00:44:45.559
The<00:44:42.480><c> goal</c><00:44:42.719><c> was</c><00:44:43.000><c> so</c><00:44:43.260><c> that</c><00:44:43.500><c> the</c><00:44:43.820><c> community</c><00:44:44.360><c> would</c><00:44:44.900><c> be</c><00:44:45.199><c> saved.</c>

00:44:45.880 --> 00:44:47.219
That's<00:44:46.239><c> really</c><00:44:46.460><c> what</c><00:44:46.579><c> he</c><00:44:46.679><c> was</c><00:44:46.880><c> after.</c>

00:44:47.599 --> 00:44:50.179
Now<00:44:47.800><c> it's</c><00:44:47.920><c> true</c><00:44:48.079><c> that</c><00:44:48.300><c> Elijah</c><00:44:48.639><c> maybe</c><00:44:48.900><c> had</c><00:44:49.079><c> a</c><00:44:49.179><c> very</c><00:44:49.500><c> restrictive</c><00:44:49.820><c> view</c>

00:44:50.179 --> 00:44:52.219
because<00:44:50.500><c> he</c><00:44:50.659><c> didn't</c><00:44:50.760><c> even</c><00:44:51.019><c> realize</c><00:44:51.219><c> there</c><00:44:51.360><c> were</c><00:44:51.579><c> 7</c><00:44:51.800><c>,000</c>

00:44:52.219 --> 00:44:54.300
that<00:44:53.059><c> hadn't</c><00:44:53.420><c> bound</c><00:44:53.599><c> the</c><00:44:53.780><c> need</c><00:44:53.880><c> of</c><00:44:54.079><c> bail.</c>

00:44:54.659 --> 00:44:56.800
But<00:44:54.800><c> his</c><00:44:55.059><c> goals</c><00:44:55.460><c> and</c><00:44:55.800><c> objectives</c><00:44:56.219><c> were</c><00:44:56.599><c> right.</c>

00:44:57.039 --> 00:44:59.179
He<00:44:57.239><c> was</c><00:44:57.519><c> praying</c><00:44:57.820><c> for</c><00:44:58.239><c> others,</c><00:44:58.619><c> you</c><00:44:58.900><c> see,</c>

00:44:59.340 --> 00:45:01.340
that<00:44:59.599><c> they</c><00:45:00.099><c> might</c><00:45:00.500><c> be</c><00:45:00.960><c> healed.</c>

00:45:01.639 --> 00:45:04.400
Which<00:45:01.860><c> is</c><00:45:02.239><c> really</c><00:45:02.579><c> exactly</c><00:45:03.039><c> the</c><00:45:03.340><c> context</c><00:45:03.760><c> here</c><00:45:03.920><c> of</c><00:45:04.079><c> James</c>

00:45:04.400 --> 00:45:06.320
when<00:45:04.780><c> God</c><00:45:05.019><c> brings</c><00:45:05.320><c> trouble</c><00:45:05.679><c> into</c><00:45:05.880><c> our</c><00:45:06.139><c> life.</c>

00:46:07.619 --> 00:46:08.719
I<00:46:07.679><c> don't</c><00:46:07.780><c> know,</c><00:46:07.820><c> maybe</c><00:46:08.019><c> it</c><00:46:08.099><c> didn't</c><00:46:08.260><c> bother</c><00:46:08.500><c> you,</c>

00:46:19.000 --> 00:46:20.699
Think<00:46:19.420><c> back</c><00:46:19.739><c> over</c><00:46:19.940><c> what</c><00:46:20.099><c> I've</c><00:46:20.320><c> written</c><00:46:20.440><c> you.</c>

00:46:26.360 --> 00:46:29.539
Now,<00:46:27.039><c> what's</c><00:46:27.420><c> happened</c><00:46:27.639><c> is</c><00:46:27.800><c> he</c><00:46:27.940><c> gave</c><00:46:28.099><c> us</c><00:46:28.340><c> these</c><00:46:28.539><c> ways</c><00:46:28.780><c> of</c><00:46:29.179><c> monitoring.</c>

00:47:05.219 --> 00:47:08.400
This<00:47:05.480><c> is</c><00:47:05.719><c> the</c><00:47:05.780><c> most</c><00:47:06.119><c> challenging</c><00:47:06.719><c> two</c><00:47:07.119><c> verses</c><00:47:07.440><c> of</c><00:47:07.659><c> the</c><00:47:07.840><c> whole</c><00:47:08.000><c> letter.</c>

00:47:08.900 --> 00:47:12.099
It's<00:47:09.199><c> the</c><00:47:09.340><c> very</c><00:47:09.639><c> people,</c><00:47:10.639><c> like</c><00:47:10.920><c> the</c><00:47:11.159><c> three</c><00:47:11.440><c> friends</c><00:47:11.659><c> of</c><00:47:12.000><c> Job,</c>

00:47:28.659 --> 00:47:31.400
That's<00:47:29.039><c> not</c><00:47:29.199><c> easy</c><00:47:29.440><c> to</c><00:47:29.679><c> do.</c><00:47:30.159><c> That's</c><00:47:30.500><c> hard.</c>

00:47:31.539 --> 00:47:35.760
It<00:47:31.659><c> may</c><00:47:31.860><c> involve</c><00:47:32.940><c> confessing</c><00:47:33.940><c> our</c><00:47:34.340><c> faults</c><00:47:34.780><c> with</c><00:47:35.199><c> one</c><00:47:35.420><c> another.</c>

00:47:36.119 --> 00:47:38.780

00:47:42.079 --> 00:47:45.039
That's<00:47:42.639><c> tough,</c><00:47:43.219><c> brothers</c><00:47:43.239><c> and</c><00:47:43.480><c> sisters.</c><00:47:43.860><c> That's</c><00:47:44.320><c> very</c><00:47:44.659><c> tough.</c>

00:47:45.440 --> 00:47:47.079
That's<00:47:45.679><c> going</c><00:47:45.800><c> to</c><00:47:45.960><c> involve</c><00:47:46.239><c> humbling</c><00:47:46.559><c> ourselves</c>

00:47:49.059 --> 00:47:53.079
That's<00:47:49.340><c> not</c><00:47:49.559><c> going</c><00:47:49.699><c> to</c><00:47:49.780><c> be</c><00:47:49.960><c> easy,</c><00:47:50.480><c> but</c><00:47:50.699><c> that's</c><00:47:51.579><c> what</c><00:47:51.880><c> God</c><00:47:52.480><c> does.</c>

00:47:53.579 --> 00:47:54.920

00:47:55.340 --> 00:47:57.800
He's<00:47:55.639><c> willing</c><00:47:55.800><c> to</c><00:47:56.059><c> do</c><00:47:56.199><c> that</c><00:47:56.500><c> extra</c><00:47:56.880><c> mile</c><00:47:57.179><c> to</c><00:47:57.360><c> bring</c><00:47:57.559><c> those</c>

00:48:01.199 --> 00:48:02.699
if<00:48:01.420><c> somebody</c><00:48:01.760><c> brings</c><00:48:02.079><c> them</c><00:48:02.360><c> back,</c>

00:48:05.280 --> 00:48:06.920
This<00:48:05.500><c> is</c><00:48:05.739><c> what</c><00:48:05.880><c> Yahweh</c><00:48:06.260><c> is</c><00:48:06.400><c> all</c><00:48:06.599><c> about.</c>

00:48:15.420 --> 00:48:18.679
